The Health District Board provides leadership and direction to the Hospital. The Board was formed in 1990 when the community voted to separate the Health District from the Harney County government.
The Health District Board is comprised of seven community-elected members. Board members are elected on a rotation basis for four-year staggered terms.
Board members work closely with the community and Harney District Hospital administration. Meetings are held the third Wednesday of each month in the Hospital Conference Room. The community is always invited and encouraged to attend the public portion of Health District meetings.
Current Board members are Leonard Arntz, Sam Caizza, Bob Otley, Tim Smith, Buck Taylor, Ann Vloedman and Shana Withee.
