Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare (MAHC) is proud to introduce its new Patient and Family Advisory Committee, which met for the first time on January 18, 2017.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Building on MAHC\u2019s vision to centre care around patients and families, the Patient and Family Advisory Committee is a way to bring the patient and family perspective into consideration when developing policies, programs and services. The committee also provides MAHC with another way to listen to our patients and improve their experience through a patient\/family voice, and an opportunity for patients and families to assume an advisory role and actively participate in the development of new programs, facility changes, and new processes.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were very pleased to receive 15 applications over a month-long period in the fall,\u201d says Natalie Bubela, Chief Executive Officer. \u201cThrough interviews of the applicants we explored why they wanted to be a member of our PFAC. We talked with them about the skills and qualities they would bring that would help them fulfill the role of a Patient\/Family Advisor including sharing perspectives that would benefit other patients\u2019 and families\u2019 experiences.\u201d<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

The committee includes 10 Patient\/Family Advisors: Debbie Provan, Donna Denny, Aaron Goodchild, Tammy Purvis-Ford, Robert Martin, Trudy Franklin, Linda Shier, Pat Looker, Bill Paterson and Brian Ferguson, and members of MAHC\u2019s administration. The committee is co-chaired by Chief Quality & Nursing Executive Karen Fleming, and Donna Denny. The committee meets monthly and report to the Senior Leadership Team.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
