INFORMATION —> Coronavirus (COVID-19) PATIENT & FAMILY ADVISORY COUNCIL Since 2016 the Telluride Regional Medical Center has been proud to host a Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC) A Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC) partner’s patients and families with members of the healthcare team to provide guidance on how to improve the patient and family experience. As part of this PFAC process, patients and families are encouraged to share the consumers’ point of view to ensure that valuable input is not only heard, but integrated into the service and quality improvement efforts at the Telluride Regional Medical Center. Through the patient’s unique perspective, they give input on issues that impact care, ensuring that the next patient or family member’s experience is easier and more fulfilling. Vision As advisors in a PFAC, patients, families and providers work together on procedures, processes, and quality improvement strategies to achieve high quality, coordinated, patient-centered care.

Your valuable input will guide future efforts and interventions to provide the highest level of satisfaction to the community we serve.
