Board of Directors

ACHP is governed by a board of directors. The board is composed of the chief executives of the member organizations or their designees, along with three medical directors. In addition to its governance responsibilities, the board serves as an executive forum for discussing topics such as innovations relevant to a specific member organization or national health care policy.
