Gunnison Valley Health Seeks Applicants for Patient Family Advisory

Gunnison Valley Health is seeking community members to join its Patient and Family Advisory Council. The group serves in an advisory capacity for the health system, providing ongoing feedback to support the continual improvement of patient safety, quality of care and patient experience across the health system.

Gunnison Valley Health CEO, Jason Amrich, said the Patient and Family Advisory Council is foundational to the health system’s quality and patient experience initiatives.

“Our Patient and Family Advisory Council provides us with invaluable feedback and input on numerous aspects of care and service at Gunnison Valley Health,” Amrich said. “The importance of having an engaged group of community members who can draw from their own experiences receiving care for themselves and their families in order to provide feedback cannot be understated.”

To be eligible to apply for council membership you need to have been a patient at Gunnison Valley Health or have a family member who was a patient at Gunnison Valley Health; commit to participation in council meetings which occur every other month over the lunch hour; and commit to a one-year term on the council.
