Patient and Family Advisory Council

Are you a student looking to gain experience in the health care field? Are you raising a young family and find yourself at the clinic or hospital on a regular basis? Please consider this unique opportunity to serve on the Hudson Hospital & Clinic Patient and Family Advisory Council.

The Council is a group that serves as the "voice of the patient" for people who have received health services at Hudson Hospital & Clinic. Current and former patients have valuable knowledge and experience to share with other consumers and service providers. They can contribute unique insights to the campus regarding service developments, changes and policies that help enhance the quality of care we provide and make us a patient-centered hospital and clinic of choice. The Council meets four times a year.
