Family Advisory Council
Empowering families to shape better healthcare experiences together
What is a Family Advisory Council?
A Family Advisory Council (FAC) is a group of parents, guardians, family members, and caregivers who work with healthcare organizations to improve the patient experience. FACs help healthcare institutions understand the perspectives of patients and families, and identify their needs. They also help bring together the views of patients and clinicians.
How do they work?
FAC members collaborate with healthcare leadership and team members to provide guidance on how to improve the patient experience. Wolfson Children's FAC meets virtually on a quarterly basis to help improve quality, safety and the patient experience.
What are the benefits of an FAC?
FACs can positively impact care and help strengthen patient and family centered care. They also help healthcare organizations learn from the diverse perspectives and lived experiences of their patients.
Interested in membership?
The FAC looks to recruit a wide range of families that have a child or children using any of the Wolfson Children's Hospital services. This includes families from different cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, as well as those with varying healthcare needs and experiences. Your unique experiences and perspectives are invaluable in helping us improve our services. Email us to learn more or apply.
