Interested individuals are encouraged to apply immediately to share their unique insights and experiences.
The PFAC, established in 2011, serves as a crucial platform where patient voices directly influence policies and practices at Providence Medical Group clinics, Providence St. Peter Hospital, and Providence Centralia Hospital. “Providence Swedish in South Puget Sound is committed to partnering with patients, families, and caregivers throughout the healthcare experience,” said Chief Executive Darin Goss. He emphasizes that the council provides an invaluable perspective, stating, “Our mission is all about serving patients and families. With PFAC members serving on committees, the eyes of the patient are always with us.”
Meetings are held on the first Friday of each month from noon to 2 p.m., currently available in-person and via video conferencing, making participation accessible to a broader audience. Providence Swedish is particularly seeking members who reflect a diverse range of backgrounds to ensure comprehensive representation in discussions.
