Board of Directors

The Family Health Center is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of community representatives who are deeply connected to the people we serve.

More than half of our Board members are Family Health Center patients themselves—ensuring that real patient voices shape how we operate. Together, they reflect the diversity of our service area across ethnicity, gender, and special populations.

Each member brings valuable expertise—from community advocacy to finance, healthcare, and social services—to help guide our mission and ensure full compliance with all federal and state regulations.

This is governance by the community, for the community.
