The Corporate Ethics and Compliance Department oversees implementation of and adherence to the CCHA Code of Conduct, Corporate Ethics and Compliance Code (pdf) and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). These provide guidance to CCHA affiliates and their employees and set forth ethical and legal standards.
