Patient & Family Advisory Councils (PFACs)

The Patient-and Family Advisory Councils (PFACs) are a partnership of patients, families, and hospital staff members working together on hospital initiatives. The councils meet monthly to discuss issues such as patient-care, the environment, and healthcare policies and procedures. Families partner with staff in the planning, evaluation, and delivery of care.
