Since the founding of health centers, diverse, patient-majority, community-based boards have been at the heart of the movement, and a commitment to health equity has been at the core of the health center mission. As the COVID-19 pandemic put a spotlight on the importance of health equity, and as the country continues to grapple with racial injustice, many boards are affirming, reaffirming, or deepening their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This session will define key concepts, explore the implications for current health center governance, and equip participants with discussion questions to take to their boards.

Learning Objectives

  • Define key terms related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
  • Identify strategies that health center boards can use related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
  • Consider questions and tools boards can use to discuss diversity, equity, and inclusion.
