About Our Family Advisory Council
At the heart of family-centered care is the belief that when children, families, and health care providers work together, our children get the best care possible.

and services - offer trusted advice and resources for children, families and associates
Empowering
- assist in staff education and professional development
- encourage family involvement in hospital committees, task forces and
work groups
Advocating
