Partners in Care
The Patient & Family Advisory Council (PFAC) is your advocate. We are a group of patients, caregivers, providers, and staff committed to ensuring that patient and family perspectives are heard. In partnership with UC San Diego Health leadership, we examine and incorporate patient and family feedback to improve services and care.
Your voice matters.
