Member Governance
and Participation

One of the things that makes Group Health successful is our tradition of member governance and participation. As a health cooperative, we're patient-powered. Not only do our members play an active role in their health care, they help shape and guide the system that delivers their care. From electing and serving on the Board of Trustees, to approving bylaws and serving on advisory groups, there are many ways you can help govern Group Health.

Help Govern Group Health

In addition to electing and serving on our Board of Trustees, members can vote on changes to our bylaws. Elections take place just before and during our annual membership meeting in October, which is an opportunity to hear from our chief executive officer and ask questions of the CEO and Board.

Members can attend Board of Trustees meetings, participate in focus groups or usability testing for our website, join the Senior Caucus or a community forum planning group, or volunteer in our medical centers, programs, and services.
