The Illinois Primary Healthcare Association (IPHCA)’s Consumer Board Dedication Award is presented to a community health center board member who exemplifies a high level of interest and dedication to the delivery of primary healthcare in our communities. This year, the honoree is Erie’s own amazing patient board member, Michael Boyd!
Whether it's traveling to Washington D.C. to advocate for community health centers on Capitol Hill, grabbing a shovel to help break ground on the Erie Sankofa Village Health Center, or sharing his lived experience at a board meeting, Michael is always there, toting his little black backpack - which must be stuffed with tons of wisdom. Michael brings his natural storytelling ability to advocacy efforts and his volunteer work on Erie's board.
We are so proud that Michael Boyd has received this award from the IPHCA! It is a well-deserved recognition. Congratulations!
