Another Off-Cycle Meeting of the Regents' Health Services Committee Coming to UCLA

The Regents' Health Services Committee will be meeting in an off-cycle session at UCLA on February 15th. Not on the agenda is the ongoing controversy over UC Health facilities' contracts with religious hospitals that won't perform certain services such as abortion. Although it's not on the agenda, the topic continues to concern some UC physicians.* So it may well come up in public comments. 

Below is the preliminary agenda:

**Note: It's not clear why the discussion of H6(X) is closed because of litigation. Is someone suing to challenge the initiatives?
