Membership

The Partners in Care Family Advisory is made up of dedicated Children's staff and family members.  Family members and staff interested in serving as members of the advisory should contact the Partners in Care Family Liaison.

Currently we have close to forty local and regional family members serving in three family membership categories and 12 staff / administrative members.  Some participants are recruited, others volunteer.  We encourage our members to stay on the committee for as long as they have interest and time to fulfill their role and duties.  Membership categories include:
