Our Board of Directors consists of men and women who are leaders in the fields of business, healthcare, accounting and medicine and understand their role in providing strong corporate governance.

Sponsorship and Appointments. Alegent Health's sponsors, Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) and Immanuel Health Systems (IHS), each appoint six voting members to the Board. The CEO of Alegent Health also serves as an additional non-voting, ex-officio member of the Board. Each corporate member must ratify the appointments of the other corporate member. If ratification does not occur, the process is repeated. Each member of the Board of Directors serves a 1, 2, 3 or 4 year term (not to exceed more than two full four-year terms).

Board of Directors Primary Function. The Board's primary function is to carry out the Mission of Alegent Health. Among their duties are to develop the role, mission, goals, strategic and operational plans of Alegent Health; to establish organization-wide policies and be responsible for organization-wide quality of care and quality of work life; and to determine the appropriate utilization of investments for capital and operating purposes and transfer investments among participants.

Board Meetings. The Board holds regularly scheduled meetings and convenes committee meetings to hear goals, objectives and recommendations from the System's administrative and medical staffs.
