Patient and Family Advisory Councils

Patient and Family Advisory Councils are groups made up of patients, family members, and healthcare providers that work together to improve healthcare services. Their goal is to share experiences, provide feedback, and suggest changes to make care safer, more respectful, and more responsive to patients' needs. These councils serve as a bridge between the people receiving care and the staff providing it, ensuring that patient perspectives help shape policies, programs, and quality improvements. Ultimately, they foster collaboration to create a more patient-centered healthcare environment.
