The Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation's Board of Trustees was established in 2008 by CNMI Public Law 16-51, which also established the corporation itself. A second law, Public Law 19-78, was enacted in 2017, which revised and expanded the scope and duties of the Board. The Board of Trustees consists of five members, appointed by the CNMI governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. Their purpose is to govern the corporation, which includes appointing and evaluating the CEO, CFO, Director of Medical Affairs, Director of Nursing, Director of Community Guidance Center, and the Resident Directors of the Tinian and Rota health centers. The Board is also responsible for preparing the CHCC's strategic and business plans, annual budget and report, and employment guidelines and other policies.
