Thank you for your interest in helping to improve care at Cambridge Memorial Hospital (CMH). We are dedicated to welcoming patients, family members / caregivers into our culture as partners to design care solutions together. There are a number of ways you can help make a difference at our hospital:
Patient and Family Advisory Council
Cambridge Memorial Hospital's Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC) was first formed in December, 2014. It was the first hospital-wide Patient and Family Council in the Waterloo Wellington region. The council focuses on hospital wide issues related to policies, resources and strategic direction. The purpose of the council is to provide a patient or family member perspective to CMH decision making processes and services. Patient and Family Advisors make recommendations that influence and support CMH’s goal to provide an exceptional experience for patients and their families.
The council meets monthly; meetings are approximately two hours in length.
