South Okanagan General Hospital Patient Advisory Committee

The purpose of the Patient and Family Advisory Council (referred to as “the PAC”) is to form collaborative partnerships between patients, families and communities and the SOGH leadership team to improve quality of care and the patient experience. The PAC acts in an advisory capacity to ensure the patient, family voice within our communities is integrated in the planning, delivery and evaluation of services at SOGH.

The SOGH Patient Advisory Committee is an established group seeking 1-2 new members. We meet for 45 min quarterly and ad hoc. Participants may join virtually or in person.
