Dedicated to Our Community
We are dedicated to improving the health and well being of the people in our community. The El Camino Healthcare District (ECHD) was established by voter approval in 1956 to respond to the ever growing health care needs of the community.
Meet the ECHD Board of Directors
The ECHD Board of Directors is composed of five publicly elected or appointed representatives. As a group, these representatives oversee the assets of the ECHD, including El Camino Hospital. The five District Board members also currently serve on the ten member governing board of El Camino Hospital, which manages El Camino Hospital operations.
