To better understand the needs of its community, MHP started its first-ever Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC) in January 2018. The PFAC—made up entirely of MHP patients and their loved ones—provides guidance and feedback to MHP about its care and services. In just nine months, PFAC has seen terrific progress. Among many projects, their patient-centered input has prompted:

• Simpler-to-understand post-operative recovery instructions

• Expanded access to health education videos for more patients

• The addition of handicap parking spaces to the main parking lot
