Governing Board

Meet Our Board of Directors

Canyonlands Healthcare is governed by a consumer/community driven board which represents the diverse patient population served by Canyonlands Healthcare.

The board of directors is governed by its bylaws which are strongly based on guidance provided by the Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC). One of the key requirements of a Community Health Center board of directors is that 51% must be active users of the services provided by the organization.

All board members are expected to participate on board committees and attend regularly scheduled meetings. Committee structure is outlined in the board bylaws and includes the following:

  • Audit and Finance
  • Quality Improvement
  • Corporate Compliance
  • By-laws
  • Nominations
  • Executive
