Exemption from Conducting Monthly Board Meetings

Can 330(g) Health Centers Get an Exemption from Conducting Monthly Board Meetings?

Yes! HRSA has noted that Boards of organizations receiving a Health Center Program award/designation only under section 330(g) may meet less than once a month during periods of the year, as specified in the bylaws, where monthly meetings are not practical due to health center patient migration out of the area. 42 CFR 56.304(d)(2).

For the purposes of health centers receiving a Health Center Program award or designation under section 330(g) of the Public Health Service Act, the population served includes:

  • Migratory agricultural workers who are individuals whose principal employment is in agriculture, and who have been so employed within the last 24 months, and who establish for the purposes of such employment a temporary abode;
  • Seasonal agricultural workers who are individuals whose principal employment is in agriculture on a seasonal basis and who do not meet the definition of a migratory agricultural worker;
  • Individuals who are no longer employed in migratory or seasonal agriculture because of age or disability, who are within such catchment area; and/or
  • Family members of the individuals described above.

Agriculture refers to farming in all its branches, as defined by the North American Industry Classification System under codes 111, 112, 1151, and 1152.

Proving Program Effectiveness Under Regulatory Scrutiny

Regulators are no longer satisfied with documentation alone; they want evidence that your compliance program actively prevents, detects, and corrects risk. Investigators expect to see how issues are identified early, investigated thoroughly, corrected effectively, and monitored over time. Boards demand measurable insight, and leadership needs confidence that exposure is managed before it becomes a liability. The standard has shifted from activity to impact.
