The Provincial Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC) is a dedicated group of Albertans who bring firsthand experience in navigating the healthcare system.
Members volunteer their time to provide valuable insights, advising leadership on the design, delivery and evaluation of health initiatives from the perspective of patients, family members and caregivers.
As Patient and Family Advisors, council members meet monthly, creating a space for healthcare planners to engage directly, ensuring patient-centred care remains a priority.
Evidence shows that the more patients and families are involved in the design, delivery and evaluation of health services, the more effective those services are at improving patient outcomes.
For more details, please review our Terms of Reference and the PFAC patient advisor role description.

Alberta Health Services wants to engage with patients and families in the design, delivery and evaluation of healthcare.
