Milford Regional’s Patient Advisory Council Needs New Members
Milford Regional Medical Center is seeking community members from their 19 town service area to serve on the hospital’s Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC). Now in its third year of operation, the PFAC is dedicated to promoting a partnership between the patients, families, and working professionals affiliated with the Medical Center to promote and foster patient‐centered care.
The PFAC at Milford Regional, which meets monthly, includes staff from the Medical Center’s administration and departments, and former patients or those who have had family members receive care at the hospital. Community members must reside within Milford Regional’s service area which comprises the following towns: Milford, Hopedale, Mendon, Blackstone, Medway, Uxbridge, Northbridge, Whitinsville, Bellingham, Franklin, Douglas, Grafton, Upton, Hopkinton, Holliston, Millis, Medfield, Wrentham and Millville.
Members commit to a two year term and have the opportunity to participate on various committees, task forces and advisory boards. Several seats are now open. "Our purpose is to participate in the operations of Milford Regional by meeting with senior administrative and medical staff and to give our individual comments and perspectives as former patients and family members," states John Cook, current PFAC chairman and resident of Milford.
Those interested in becoming a member of Milford Regional’s Patient Family Advisory Council must complete and submit an application form by Wednesday, February 29, 2012.
