- Providing input on how to improve our policies and care practices.
- Giving feedback about their hospital stay, including what went well and what we can improve upon.
The group also focuses on programs and projects related to the strategic goals of the organization. A limited number of family advisor positions are available and an application process is required. Each PFAC member holds a term of one year. Meetings are held in the evenings at the hospital, quarterly.
