Overview

Patient and Family Advisory Councils (PFACs) are the voice of patients, residents, members and their families at ProMedica. They are a collaborative partnership between patients, loved ones and ProMedica employees, all working together to promote patient and family-centered care.

At council meetings, patients and family advisers share their perspectives on strategies and processes with ProMedica and suggest activities that enrich the patient and family experience. PFAC advisors can also participate in hospital councils, focus groups and patient rounding.

Our PFACs serve as our richest source of capturing the voice of the customer and advocate for the practice of safe, high-quality, patient- and family-centered care.
