“It’s exciting to be a part of the launch of this new program,” said Karen Games, RN, Senior Director of Process Improvement. “Patient and family involvement play an integral role in our patient’s plan of care; they can provide valuable insight to what works well and what may need improvement. We want to explore the entire patient experience from hospital to home.”
Perspective candidates for the program should be passionate about healthcare, respect the perspectives of others, and have a positive outlook.
Constructive discussions will require listening skills as well as being able to speak comfortably in group settings. Council meetings will be held monthly and the hospital is asking for a two-year commitment.
If you have been a Los Alamitos Medical Center patient or a caregiver for a Los Alamitos Medical Center patient, and would like to be a member of the Patient & Family Advisory Council, please contact Karen Games, RN at 562-799-3284.
