According to AHA’s <a href="/aha-2019-national-health-care-governance-survey-report">2019 Governance Survey Report</a>, survey respondents reported that African Americans and Hispanics represented 6% and 3% (respectively) of voting board members. By increasing diversity and inclusion on governance boards, AHA’s hospital and health system members can accelerate advancements in addressing health equity for patients and communities.</p><p><strong>Benefits:</strong></p><p>Health care trustees who understand the root causes, issues, needs and cultures of patients and communities can provide deeper insights that result in better decision-making about how to serve local communities.
