The purpose of the CW OHT Patient Family Advisory Council [PFAC] is to provide a highly effective and meaningful forum for shared leadership and decision-making amongst patient/client, family, caregivers and CW OHT Partners. As a member of the CW OHT PFAC, you will be encouraged to:

• Use your individual and collective expertise as patients, clients, families and caregivers with valuable ‘lived and living’ experiences, as well as professional, volunteer and community based skills and abilities
• Make recommendations based on the needs of the broader community versus individual self interests
• Make every effort to provide informed advice on CW OHT policy, planning, strategic decision-making and program initiatives
