HHHS is managed by a team of professionals across each aspect of the organization and is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors who meet regularly throughout the year. All HHHS managers, staff, and Board members are guided by the Mission, Vision, and Values of the organization, as defined in the Strategic Plan (link at the bottom right-hand side of this page).
