DERBY - The newest members of Griffin Hospital’s Patient Family Advisory Council recently started the 2017 schedule, helping the Derby hospital continue it patient-centered care philosophy.
The newly-appointed Council members include Horace Behrle and Fran DiGiorgi, both of Ansonia, David Erhardt of Derby, Kenneth Hawkins of Milford, Nicole Levine of Oxford, and Edward Paradis of Beacon Falls.
As either former patients themselves or family members of patients, the 17-member Council is charged with providing real-time feedback and insight to help enhance hospital services and programs.
The Council partners with the hospital to maintain its patient-center care focus. Members learn about various hospital programs and services, receive updates on performance measurements, such as patient experience, safety, financial and facilities improvements, and provide input and options on new programs and services under consideration.
The Council meets once a month and members commit to a two-year term.
The new members join current members, including Donna Bak of Woodbury, Nadine Civitella of Ansonia, James Healy of Seymour, Natasha Koonce-Webster of Hamden, Jamie Mastrony of Shelton, Robert Newton of Seymour, Janet Onidi of Shelton, Alfred Pettit of Ansonia, Joseph Skrabl of Ansonia, Rita St. Jacques of Ansonia, and Susan Wisneski of Beacon Falls.
The Patient Family Advisory Council is just one of many ways individuals in the community can serve in contributing to the hospital’s mission of providing personalized, humanistic, consumer driven healthcare in a healing environment.
Griffin Hospital is always looking for volunteers to assist the hospital in providing exceptional, patient-centered care.
