How you can become a member of the Foundation Society

Our goal is to build a membership that represents the interests and concerns of all health care consumers in our area - one that also reflects the diverse professional, cultural and personal interests of those consumers. A dynamic mix of people provides a cross section of viewpoints regarding the vital decisions being made by the Foundation.
