Altru’s Patient and Family Advisory Council seeks to enhance the delivery of healthcare throughout Altru Health System. It includes active involvement of patients and families at all levels of the organization. As a group, community members will work in partnership with health system staff to bring the voice of patients and families directly into the planning, delivery and evaluation of care.
The Patient and Family Advisory Council meets quarterly and provides an interactive opportunity for the voice of the patient.
