Become a Patient and Family Advisor at BCH
A patient and family advisor is someone who:
-
Wants to help improve the quality of our hospital’s care for all patients and family members.
-
Gives feedback to the Hospital based on his or her own experiences as a patient or family member.
-
Helps us plan changes to improve how we take care of patients.
-
Works with the Hospital for either short- or long-term commitments, depending on the project.
-
Volunteers his or her time (usually at least 1 hour and not more than 4 hours per month).
Patient and family advisors provide a voice that represents all patients and families of patients who receive care at Boone County Hospital (BCH). The feedback and ideas help us to improve the quality and safety of care we provide. Advisors partner with Hospital doctors, nurses, and administrators to help improve the quality of our Hospital’s care for all patients and family members.
You can be an advisor if you or a family member received care at BCH within the last five years. For more information about being a patient and family advisor, call Angi Ellsworth at (515) 433-8488 or email her at aellsworth@bchmail.org.
