Each of those 8 7 members must be | ||||

way, directly or indirectly, as providers of health care in | ||||
this State or any other state.
| ||||
(b) Each member shall be appointed by the Governor.
| ||
(c) Members
shall be appointed to 5 year terms. The | ||

which have been
vested in the Board under this Act, and any | ||
