PFACnetwork -- Patient and Family Advisors and Leaders of Advisory Councils for Hospitals
About PFACnetwork	English (USA)
Welcome to the Patient and Family Advisory Council Network! We created this email discussion list as a way for people to ask and share information and ideas as they work to build or sustain patient and family advisory groups at their medical center. The list is open anyone who is interested in starting a patient or family advisory council for a hospital, who is a patient or family advisor, or who leads one of these groups. Note that we do not limit membership to family members or patients -- medical staff who are members, leaders, or interested in starting these councils are also welcome. Our discussions cover a wide range of topics related to starting and sustaining patient and family advisory councils, as well as issues related to promoting Family Centered Care in a hospital or medical center. See also our blog, http://patientfamilycenteredcare.blogspot.com We're also on Twitter, http://twitter.com/PFACNetwork Thank You to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, http://www.cincinnatichildrens.org, for their financial support of the PFAC Network.
