Clackamas Community Health Council
The Council currently has openings for 14 additional members - consumers, patients, and clients only.

As such, current patients (or their guardians) will be given priority to join the Council.

Council members are not required to have expertise in healthcare, but should be interested in improving the quality of care and patient experience in the Health Centers. Council members should be comfortable working with a diverse group of people and willing to reach consensus on various topics and make recommendations to Health Centers Leadership and the Board of County Commissioners. Individuals who represent all geographic areas and demographics are highly valued by the Council.
