Community Advisory Board
Community Advisory Board
By Elko, For Elko
Each community is unique, and no one knows more about what a community needs than the people who live there. The Community Advisory Board is a volunteer group of Elko residents advocating for the health of their neighbors and surrounding communities.
Our Community Advisory Board shapes the services and programs that CHDF offers in Elko. Board members provide input on CHDF’s current offerings, suggest important health topics for new classes and programs, and share their health experiences as patients and community members.
Community Board feedback is a key element of CHDF’s programming. We design our programming based on the experience and community knowledge of our board members, keeping the unique needs of Elko at the heart of our services.
