Patient and Family Advisor (PFAC)

Patient and family advisors provide a voice that represents all patients who receive care at Oaklawn. They partner with Oaklawn’s doctors, nurses and administrators to help improve the quality of care that we provide. You do NOT need any special qualification to be an advisor. Advisors help us by sharing their stories, participating in discussion groups, reviewing or helping to create educational or informational materials, working on short-term projects, and/or serving on an advisory council. For more information about being a patient and family advisor, or to find out how to apply: Call Amy Brown at (269) 789-8286 or send an email to abrown@oaklawnhospital.com
