Coast Community Health Center is governed by a volunteer board of directors.
Our board directors are residents of Coos and Curry counties who take an active role in shaping the direction of the health center and the progress of health care in our region.
Health centers are governed by volunteer boards of directors. Health center boards are unique among nonprofit organizations 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. Health center boards must fulfill the general roles of other boards and additional requirements of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Health Center Program. These requirements are outlined in the Health Center Program Compliance Manual. Health center board roles can be grouped into three categories: Strategy, Oversight & Policy, and Board Functioning.
