Read the decisions behind it.
Community members elect the trustees.
The quality and safety committee sits at board level.
The CEO leads medical, nursing, finance, and operations officers.
The Quality Director has dotted links to clinical management and board quality oversight.

Common questions
Why does the Quality Director link to the board committee?
It shows a direct quality-oversight relationship beyond ordinary management reporting.
What does the Board of Trustees oversee?
It provides fiduciary and strategic oversight for the nonprofit organization.
Is the CMO the only clinical leader?
