Glenrose Patient and Family Advisory Council

20 hours / monthly
2 years 
The Glenrose Patient and Family Advisory Council is a diverse group of patient and family members who have lived experience navigating the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital. Our Patient and Family Advisors will generously volunteer their time to enhance the quality, safety, and effectiveness of health services from the patient, family, and caregiver perspective.  

The council will start holding monthly meetings in January, providing a venue for Glenrose teams to engage directly with advisors and ensure the voices of patients, families and caregivers resonate throughout health policies, projects, and programs across the continuum of care.   

Some examples of things that PFAC will consult on:
•	Creation of patient, family or staff educational materials
•	New projects involving changes to policies, procedures, programs or services
•	Capital projects or facility redesign
•	Patient experience survey design
