Patient + Family Advisory Council

The patient and family advisory council are local residents who provide valuable input on health needs.

Providing patient, family + community input

We are an important advisory committee that is comprised of community members, current and former patients, and employees who serve to strengthen community relations and address health needs in local cities and towns. We provide an independent, community perspective to help the organization enhance patient services.

Our impact

We focus on a number of service enhancement and awareness initiatives that address quality, improve patient experience and increase safety.

Our annual reports show how we focused our efforts and what our impact was, check out the last few years:
