Health Center Board

Members of the Community Health Center Board sit around a table together in a conference room.

Meet our Community Health Center Board

Most of the members of our governing board are patients of the Health Center. They help lead us forward and stay connected to the communities we serve.

Meet your board

Our board was formed in 1980 to make sure patients’ voices lead us forward.
