The Council is a volunteer board made up of consumers, providers and purchasers of health care.

Representatives are appointed to specific member categories; i.e., Health Care Consumer, Health Care Provider, and Health Care Purchaser. The current vacancies are two-year terms for the Health Care Consumer category and Health Care Purchaser category.

One appointment is for the Health Care Consumer member categories which includes individuals who are neither purchasers nor providers, who receive medical care from licensed practitioners, reside in or receive services from a health care facility, and who may or may not access public and/or commercial (private) health insurance coverage.

The other appointment is for the Health Care Purchaser member category, which includes individuals licensed to provide or who are providing health care services to individuals and/or groups, such as insurance executives.
