Patient- and Family-Centered Care
Joining the Patient and Family Advisory Councils
We're looking for people who have:
- A desire to make a positive difference in the healthcare system
- A positive approach and the ability to see many different points of view
- Enthusiasm about the hospital's mission of excellence, quality, safety, community focus and customer satisfaction
- The ability to share both positive and negative experiences in a constructive way
- The ability to communicate, listen to, and work with families and staff whose background, experiences, and styles may be very different from their own
- A willingness to share their own experiences with others
- An attitude that values partnership and teamwork
Advisors attend a volunteer orientation, at which several important aspects of privacy and confidentiality, as well as safety and other organizational priorities and practices, are discussed. The Volunteer Services department also conducts a background check and provides you with a hospital ID badge, indicating you are a patient/family advisor.
