Patient and Family Advisory Council

Giving you a voice

Adirondack Health's Patient and Family Advisory Council seeks to create a patient- and family-centered environment that promotes the best possible medical and emotional outcomes for patients and family members by giving a voice to patients and community members.

The PFAC is comprised of patients, family members, a patient advocate and Adirondack Health staff.  They typically meet once a month for two hours to offer suggestions or hear from Adirondack Health leadership on specific topics of interest.
