The Council is an excellent opportunity for community members to get involved in decision-making at PeaceHealth
VANCOUVER – PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center is seeking new members for its Patient & Family Advisory Council (PFAC) to participate in monthly sessions and provide feedback around patient experiences and ensure the patient voice is heard.
The Council is an excellent opportunity for community members to get involved in decision-making at PeaceHealth. The goal of PFAC is to make care more accessible and understandable for patients and their families. Members collaborate during monthly meetings and give valuable input into countless projects, including patient education and marketing materials, phone system improvements, and enhanced scheduling processes.
“If you’ve been a patient or had a family member who was a patient, I encourage you to apply,” says Zoie Newman, Human Experience Consultant. “Input we receive from patients and family members is invaluable and helps drive important decisions about our delivery of care.”
Volunteer requirements:
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to have been a patient at PeaceHealth or have a family member who has been a patient.
- You must be able to commit to in-person monthly meetings that are one hour in duration, with additional commitments on occasion.
- You will be required to fill out an application and participate in an interview.
- You must complete a background and health screening.
- You will need to be compliant with PeaceHealth required vaccinations.
