- Governance is a fundamental and defining aspect of the Health Center Program. Health center boards are unique because federal law requires 51% of board members to be patients of the center, which helps the center be responsive to patient and community needs. This session will provide clarity about the roles and responsibilities of a health center board, describe characteristics of highperforming boards, and outline strategies for health center leadership and staff to partner successfully with their board.
