    Cancer Patient Advisory Council

    PAMF's Cancer Patient Advisory Council was created in 2006 to ensure that all patients receive high quality, personalized care as a part of a compassionate team. This group's charter is to:

    1. Inform, assess and improve the experience for patients and their families/caregivers
    2. Collaborate with Cancer Care team to assess and improve the patient experience from diagnosis to post-treatment and survivorship
    3. Participate in survey question design and ongoing evaluation of program content and effectiveness
    4. Enhance, implement and evaluate the survivorship program in collaboration with Cancer Care providers and staff
    5. Advise on creation and effectiveness of patient resources, classes, community events and complimentary services
    6. Facilitate partnerships and collaboration with other community groups to improve outreach opportunities, without duplicating well-established patient programs

    Our committee includes, but is not limited to:

    • Cancer Care Program Clinical Director
    • Cancer Care Program Administrative Director
    • Committee Chairman and Nurse Navigator
    • Oncologists
    • Social Workers
    • Cancer patients from each region of PAMF
    At PAMF, our patients are empowered members of each care team and we value their many contributions to our program.
