About | Board of Directors

Our board determines the strategic direction of NWRPCA and drives the organization by committing time and energy:

  • advocating for the medically underserved in broader political arenas and building constructive relationships with key stakeholders
  • developing the health care workforce and nurturing new leadership, and  
  • fostering innovative approaches to close the gaps on health care disparities and supporting a health care system that provides competent, compassionate and equitable care for all!

Representatives from each state – Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington – provide support and guidance for key programmatic initiatives.  Board participation benefits individual community health centers, as well as the state, regional and national health care safety net; enables individuals to develop personal and professional leadership skills; and builds a peer community of leaders who can support and learn from each other.
