A volunteer Board of Directors serves New River Health (NRH) as required by bylaws and HRSA. The Board must be comprised of at least two members of the UMWA, a percentage of NRH patients, and residents of Fayette, Nicholas, and Raleigh Counties. Terms of service are aligned so that the Board has both experienced and new members serving in a balanced cycle.
Committees work toward efficiency in the Board’s business matters. Executive, Finance, Strategic Planning, Performance Improvement, and Governance committees share information, review reports, and keep operations current.
Committees meet monthly and bring recommendations to the Board. Other committees, such as a Building committee, may be added as needed.
The Board meets on the third Thursday of every month but may alter the date to accommodate holidays.
