No matter how you\u2019ve come to know Norton Healthcare \u2014 through a Norton Community Medical Associates office, from receiving emergency care at one of our five hospitals or because you have a family member who is a patient \u2014 you are an important part of the Norton Experience, and we want to hear from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patient and Family Advisory Councils (PFACs) provide a space for you to share your experiences with Norton Healthcare, along with ways we can make our delivery of health care services even better for patients like you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Should You Join a PFAC?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are at our most vulnerable when we are in the hospital or getting care for a health issue. We need advocates who understand what it\u2019s like to be a patient and who are willing to make their voice heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a PFAC member, you will take an active role in the development of programs, processes and policies that directly impact patients throughout Norton Healthcare. Sharing your personal experiences as a patient or family member helps us improve the care and services we provide to others and makes us a better health care organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll also have opportunities to give and receive support and camaraderie with other patients and families who have had personal experiences with hospitalization, illnesses and medical care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
