The Governance and Leadership of Catholic Healthcare West is comprised of three groups, Corporate Members, Board of Directors and Executive Management.

The Corporate Members represent the top level of our governance structure.  They are a group of Sisters representing each of the Sponsoring Congregations who, in conjunction with the Board of Directors and management, safeguard the legacy and traditions of all hospitals operated by CHW.

The Board of Directors are appointed by the Corporate Members and include Sisters from our Sponsoring Congregations, and healthcare and business leaders. Together, they are responsible for approving major decisions affecting our health care ministry, such as long-range strategic plans, the allocation of capital, joint ventures, and major acquisitions and sales.

The Executive Management team is charged by the Corporate Members and Board of Directors to provide leadership and organizational management in the areas of operations, mission integration, finance and support services, as well as leadership in the strategic direction of the organization.
