Six committees report directly to the Central Oregon Health Council (COHC) Board of Directors.

These committees support detailed review, oversight, and policy development in key areas of governance, accountability, and regional alignment. Each committee provides recommendations to the Board to strengthen performance, compliance, and community representation.
