What else does HRSA examine?
Board size and patient majority are only part of the broader board-composition review. The items below are not scored here, because this tool does not collect enough information to evaluate them.
- Patient members collectively represent the population served
- Non-patient members represent the community or service area
- Non-patient members provide relevant expertise
- Limits related to non-patient members earning income from the healthcare industry
- Employee and immediate-family restrictions
- Applicable waivers, exemptions, and co-applicant structures
- Documentation in bylaws, board rosters, and related records

Governance is more than a percentage
The numbers are the first check. The structure behind them matters too.
If your board composition, bylaws, documentation, or governance process needs attention, Larsen CHC can help turn the finding into a practical plan.
