The Patient & Family Advisory Council (PFAC) is a group of volunteer patients, family members, caregivers, and staff that work together to ensure that patients receive the highest level of care. We use the constructive input that only patients and family members can provide to help us deliver higher levels of satisfaction. The committee meets monthly to address the needs and concerns of our patients and visitors.
Meetings
Join us at 5 PM on the fourth Tuesday of each month for our PFAC meeting. We will take a short summer and winter recess. Become a part of the PFAC
