    Areas of Interest

    The following list reflects the many ways that patients, family and community members can be involved in our Patient Community Engagement Committee efforts.

    - Committee Member: Membership on the Patient Community Engagement Committee. The work will include regular meetings and might include activities such as helping to design or improve a new or current program, service, policy or process. This also involves working closely with different clinical and non-clinical staff. Your role will be to bring/represent the patient or family perspective.

    - Focus Group Participant: Occasionally we bring groups of patients or family members together to hear perspectives and ideas on a specific topic. This is a time-limited experience, sometimes only once.

    - Communication Reviewer: Gaining the user's perspective when drafting brochures, patient education materials, websites, policies, newsletters, and marketing materials is critical. This work can sometimes be done electronically and from your own home. Requests for this assistance are variable.

    - Experience Sharing: Our Experience Advisors are often asked to share their personal healthcare experiences as a way for us to learn what was helpful and what was not. Experience may be shared at new employee orientation, educational seminars for professionals, or department or committee meetings.

    We will provide you with an orientation and training depending upon the activity that interests you and what opportunities exist.     Please check your areas of interest in our Patient Community Engagement Committee.
