Patient Family Advisory Council
Greene County Medical Center utilizes a Patient Family Advisory Council as a resource for gathering feedback from patients, family members and active community members.
The council was reformed following COVID, in 2024 and is overseen by our Director of Nursing and Director of Quality Management.
Purpose
The Patient Family Advisory Council is comprised of members of the Greene County Medical Center Team and members of the communities served in and around Greene County. Members of the council share their time, energy, thoughts and ideas to help inspire change within our organization and make an important difference in the patient experience at the medical center.
