Our Leadership

Governance Structure

To maximize alignment with physicians in community pediatric practices, the CPRG governance builds upon the strong foundation of the Cincinnati Children’s Community Physician Leaders Each of the physicians in this group practice in the community and represent physicians from their region surrounding the medical center. To stay in touch with the needs and interests of these physicians, each Physician Leader has face-to-face contact twice per year with physicians within their region.

The CPRG is governed by three Co-Directors and an Advisory Board. Members review projects and provide feedback on alignment with community priorities and feasibility to implement in community-based practices.
