The San Fernando Valley H & I Committee was
formed in 1981,
starting with just thirty-five members and one
panel.
Since that time, our memberships has grown and
we serve over fifty panels a week.

Statement of Purpose
The sole purpose of the San Fernando Valley
Hospital and Institution committee is to carry
the message of Alcoholics Anonymous to persons
confined in any facility, government or
private, where there are Alcoholics.
All A.A. panel meetings of this Committee are
to be conducted at the invitation of each
facility.
The Committee is created under The Ninth
Tradition of A.A.:
A.A. as such, ought never be organized; but
we may create service boards or committees
directly responsible to those they serve. The Committee as such is a service board
operating under The Twelve Traditions of
Alcoholics Anonymous in all of its affairs,
ever mindful of the admonition cooperation not
affiliation. The Committee is not a thing
apart from A.A., but pursuant to its existing
services.
The Committee guarantees continuity of the
A.A. panels.No one individual can make that
possible, only the coordinating continuity of
a committee can. Members come and members go,
but the committee continues.
