Give Your Time to Packard Health

Purpose and Goals

• Put patients first – Advocate for policies and practices that prioritize patient needs, safety, and satisfaction.
  
• Build better relationships – Improve communication and build trust between patients, families, and healthcare teams.
  
• Make information more accessible – Ensure patients and families have the resources they need to make confident healthcare decisions.
  
• Connect patients and community – Bridge the gap between patients, the broader community, and clinical teams to make sure every voice is heard.

Who Should Apply?

You must be a current Packard Health patient, but you don’t need any other special qualifications beyond a willingness to share your experiences and help others receive better care.

Being a patient advisor might be a great fit if you can:

• Share openly – Talk about both positive and negative experiences and offer ideas for improvement.
• Think beyond yourself – Consider the bigger picture and how your insights can help a wide range of patients.
• Listen and respect others – Engage thoughtfully with different perspectives, even when you disagree.
• Work well with others – Collaborate with people from a variety of backgrounds with a positive, open attitude.
• Be trustworthy – Keep anything you hear in your advisor role private and confidential.

We’re especially looking for people who reflect the diversity of our community — across backgrounds, experiences, cultures, and care journeys. Whether your experiences with Packard Health have been positive, challenging, or both, your voice matters here.
