Patient and Family Advisory Committees

If you are a patient or a family member of a patient of The University of Kansas Health System, you may have the opportunity to help us advance the power of medicine. As a member of one of our Patient and Family Advisory Committees, you become an adviser to your care team and others throughout our health system. Your valuable ideas and experiences help us enhance the quality and safety of our services, improve our communications and better understand the needs of the people we serve.

Committee members include patients and family members who represent the diverse groups and communities we serve. The committees also include representatives from across the health system, including those who work in administration and providers’ offices, patient support services, communications, facilities and other areas. As a member of any of our Patient and Family Advocacy Committees, you will work side by side with us, representing the voice of patients and families as we work toward making ongoing improvements to the patient experience.

We are looking for current patients or family members to:

• Share your ideas about how we can improve our services, including patient education, quality improvement projects or MyChart.
• Respectfully listen and discuss with those who may have different opinions.
• Attend regular meetings (virtual connections may be available).
• Commit to 1 to 2 years of service on a committee.
• Share our passion for enhancing the healthcare experience.

If you're interested in joining one of our committees, including the Patient and Family Advisory Committee in Great Bend:

• Speak with your provider or a member of your care team.
