Board of Directors

The WNCCHS Board of Directors provides leadership and guidance in support of our mission: to provide high-quality and life-enriching health care to all people living within our region. The Board is responsible for setting goals, objectives, policies and procedures for the organization. 

WNCCHS is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), therefore the majority of our Board Members must also be our patients. In this way, our Board reflects the people we serve — ensuring that our organization and the care we provide are directly impacted by real patients and members of our community.
