2015 COMMITTEES
9 Advisors are nominated to serve three year terms. This is an important and significant committee for citizen access to the Board of Commissioners and Staff. Most citizens learn about the committee by word-of-mouth and Ms. Burton. A very late press release is now issued once a year announcing when Applications are taken. According to Ms. Burton, the Community Advisor Committee serves as a "focus group" for the hospital. Advisers don't set policy but make recommendations to the Board.
