One of the primary methods for PFAC members to contribute to improvements at Fox Chase Cancer Center is via projects where advisors are asked for the patient and family perspective. See the attached annual report that highlights some of the projects and activities that PFAC advisors have contributed to over the past year.
Members of the PFAC serve on several hospital committees and provide a voice for patients and families. These liaisons bring important information back to the PFAC.
