The Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance (HPHA) is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors comprised of eleven elected and nine ex-officio members, including a Patient Partner.  (Refer to HPHA's By-Laws for detailed information on Board composition).

Governance responsibilities include accountability and oversight of the HPHA's:

• Values, Mission and Vision
• Commitments to Our Communities (strategic plan)
• Financial stewardship
• Quality and performance monitoring
• Stakeholder relations 

Board members have a unique opportunity to help shape the health care and well-being of our communities.  We encourage applicants who are systems thinkers with a broad range of backgrounds and skills to complement the current Board.

The HPHA undertakes a recruitment process to fill vacancies in March/April each year and opportunities advertised across Huron Perth.  Applications are received and reviewed by the Nominating Committee, with recommendations through the Governance and Stakeholder Relations Committee to the Board of Directors.

Although the HPHA is not currently recruiting, we welcome applications from interested individuals that we can keep on file for future opportunities.
