412th Medical Group Patient Advisory Council meets April 13
The 412th Medical Group’s Patient Advisory Council at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., will meet at 11 a.m., April 13 at the Main Clinic.
The MDG’s PAC serves to promote relationships between the 412th MDG and active duty members, retirees and family members to provide guidance on how to improve the patient experience.
Some benefits for patients attending the PAC are information on processes and activities; a better understanding of the healthcare system; a chance to voice improvement suggestions and an opportunity to provide input on new policies and programs.
In turn, the 412th MDG will gain valuable feedback on the priorities and concerns of patients and will help develop programs to meet those needs.
For more information, contact Capt. Melvin Tsui at 661-277-8109.
