Health Commission
Yellowhawk's governing body — guiding policy, strategy, and oversight on behalf of the CTUIR community.
In order to ensure and oversee the provision of adequate healthcare for members of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) and other persons eligible to receive healthcare services at or through Yellowhawk Tribal Health Center, the CTUIR Board of Trustees established and delegates to the CTUIR Health Commission the powers and duties set forth in its Charter, pursuant to Article VI, §1(c) of the CTUIR Constitution.
The CTUIR Health Commission, Yellowhawk's governing body, is comprised of local Tribal members as well as one CTUIR Board of Trustees representative. The Health Commission creates policies (subject to the Board of Trustees' approval) and works closely with the Management Team to develop strategy at the beginning of each year for Yellowhawk's success.
