Welcome to UCHealth – the home of Patient and Family Centered Care (PFCC).
Our history
In 2004, University of Colorado Hospital (UCH) joined a growing number of medical institutions nationwide that committed to exploring the principles of patient and family centered care. We recognized that the highest quality of care could best be achieved through a partnership between healthcare professionals and those they serve.
UCH formed a PFCC Advisory Council comprised of patients, family members, and hospital staff, an innovative approach to healthcare that recognizes the valuable information possessed by patients and their families.
Enhancing the quality of care
This wealth of information is utilized in the development of treatment plans and in enhancing the quality of care delivery. Combining this perspective with the expertise of our excellent staff allows both staff and patients alike to experience a higher level of satisfaction with the healthcare delivery process.
University of Colorado Hospital and UCHealth are determined to become a model of the best care delivery possible. At the center of that goal is the patient and their families. Our Council members are encouraged to join many hospital committees; by doing so, they have impacted the climate of change that is at work in our hospital culture.
Volunteering on the PFCC Advisory Council
The PFCC Advisory Council is open to volunteers who have had any hospital experience and feel passionate about the partnership we are building at University of Colorado Hospital.
Council meetings are scheduled for the second Tuesday of every month from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in room 318 of the Leprino Building.
