Our Board

ACHP is governed by a board of directors. The board comprises the chief executives of our member organizations or their designees, along with up to two medical directors chosen among our plans. In addition to its governance responsibilities, the board serves as an executive forum for discussing topics such as innovations in health care and national health care policy.
