Family Advisory Council

Time and again, you’ll hear the administrators, specialists, and staff at Children’s Hospital refer to our “family-centered” approach to healthcare for children. We take this commitment very seriously, and enlist the help of a group of parents known as the Family Advisory Council to keep us accountable.

Members of the Family Advisory Council consist of families who have had a child hospitalized at Children’s Hospital. Their primary job is to collaborate with hospital staff to improve patient and family satisfaction with the care received. The Council serves as a vital link between the hospital and the community.

The Family Advisory Council is made up of parents and hospital staff who:

  • Identify family concerns and priorities
  • Promote Family-Centered Care
  • Offer input in planning programs and policies
  • Create educational and support resources for families and healthcare providers

Joining the Family Advisory Council is one way to help improve the quality of care we provide; the partnership provides families the opportunity to make a significant impact. Click the following links for more information:
