The group aims to increase engagement among young adults, ensuring a healthier, more supportive community overall. Join us in making a tangible difference in Hartford and beyond.

Patient and Families Advisory Council (PFAC)

The IOL’s Patient Family Advisory Council (PFAC) was established in 2015 by the FRC and hospital leadership. The primary goal of the council is to serve as a forum to promote excellent patient and family-centered care across the IOL’s program, driven by the invaluable insight of those with lived experience.

If you are a past client or a family member of a past client and would like to apply, you can access the application.
