A board of directors governs the WSMA Foundation for Health Care Improvement, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to creating transformational health care change at all levels—individual, organizational, and statewide. At the WSMA Foundation, we believe in a future where physicians are healthy and fulfilled; where physicians, the health care team, and patients are partners; and where all Washingtonians experience equitable, quality care that aligns with their needs, goals, and values. The Foundation board of directors is composed of nine members, all of whom (except for the WSMA CEO) are appointed by the WSMA board of trustees. Members serve three-year terms and can serve up to two terms.
