Interior Health is looking to add five patient partners/public members to its Person- and Family-Centred Care Steering Committee.
With input from both public members and IH leaders, the Interior Health Person- and Family-Centred Care (PFCC) Steering Committee provides strategic direction to Interior Health around the goals, principles, policies and priorities related to Person and Family Centred Care to improve the health care system.
