Health Center Governance and Tackling Big Issues in the Health Center Landscape

Health center boards are responsible for ensuring the long-term sustainability of the health center and that the center meets the needs of the community it serves. Staying informed on changes in the health care landscape that impact the health center and incorporating key issues into the center’s strategic plan and board oversight are critical ways a board helps ensure sustainability. This session will surface some of these big issues – both connected to the pandemic and beyond – and how boards are addressing them in partnership with the center’s CEO. The session will also include tips for how board members and staff that work with boards can incorporate big issues, including key learnings from the Policy & Issues Forum, to inform ongoing board education, health center strategy, and board oversight.
