Our Board

The composition of the Coalition’s Board of Directors is diverse.  All local health institutions, including three hospital systems and two federally qualified health centers, have designated seats on the Board for a health provider and an administrator.  The Board also has practitioners from independent provider offices in Camden and a representative from a local public health organization, Camden Area Health Education Center.
