The Community Health Center Board was formed in 1980 to serve as the consumer-majority governing board of Multnomah County’s Federally Qualified Health Center project. Since its creation, the CHCB has worked in partnership with the Board of County Commissioners, to provide policy oversight of federally-funded health care programs and ensure that patient voice is properly represented in the fiscal management of the Health Center.
The mission of the Community Health Center Board is to bring services to individuals, families, and communities that improve health and wellness while advancing health equity and eliminating health disparities.
