VHAN Leadership
VHAN is governed by a board of directors and committees made up of members and supported by VHAN staff. We give our members a seat at the table to make sure their voice is heard when we plan network solutions, quality goals and learning opportunities.
Clinical Performance Committee
The Clinical Performance Committee (CPC) is a subcommittee of the VHAN Board. It is a physician led committee focused on ensuring that VHAN’s clinical priorities and strategic imperatives are patient centered, quality driven, and in the pursuit of health, value and equity.
