The purpose of the Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC) is to serve in an advisory and monitoring capacity, and make recommendations on matters that impact the patient and family experience at Woodstock Hospital. The council will ensure that the perspective of patients and their families is always incorporated into organizational activities and decision-making to ensure care and services are patient focused.
While council members are patients, family members and caregivers, Woodstock Hospital staff and physicians also sit on the Patient and Family Advisory Council.
Some of the activities of the council include:
Patient and Family Advisors must be a patient, family member or caregiver of a patient who has received care at Woodstock Hospital within the past two years.
