A New Resource to Support
Patient & Family Advisory Councils (PFACs)

Want to help shape the health care you and your loved ones receive? The new Improving Health Care Together Kit by Health Quality BC, developed with Fraser Health, is here to guide you in joining or improving Patient & Family Advisory Councils (PFACs).

This self-directed resource provides clear steps, helpful templates, and practical tools to ensure your voice makes a real impact. It explains what to expect, how to get involved, and how PFACs create meaningful connections with health care teams.

For me, the PFAC has shown the compassion health care teams have in their commitment to improving outcomes and fostering meaningful partnerships,” shares patient partner Amanda Cronkite. “Being part of a PFAC has helped me see how we can work together to enhance care and make more informed decisions while embracing the rich diversity within health care.”

Adds Laura Klein, Clinical Practice Consultant with Fraser Health: “PFACs allow services to be planned with patients and families, not just for them.

Be part of the conversation. Check out the kit today!

Thank you for your commitment to making health care better for everyone.
