California's Hoag Hospital wins its battle to shed itself of Catholic healthcare restrictions
Hoag Hospital’s leadership deserves praise for having the courage to see that the affiliation was a bad idea, and fighting to end it.According to an agreement attached to Bonta’s approval, the split will allow Hoag to offer a “full range” of fertility and family planning services. The hospital says it aims to recruit nationally recognized experts to create a specialized women’s medical group as part of a general expansion of women’s health services.
A few weeks later, Providence informed Heritage members that they would lose access to Hoag’s 13 urgent care centers by the end of December, in the teeth of the pandemic. The HMO took that position even though the 2014 agreement under which then-Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris approved the Hoag/St. Joseph affiliation explicitly stated that Hoag would not be bound by the so-called ERDs then or “in the future.” The ERDs prohibit hospitals under its jurisdiction from providing contraceptives.
