Feb 4, 2022San Ramon, Calif. – San Ramon Regional Medical Center is seeking community members to serve on its Patient and Community Advisory Council. The council is instrumental in sharing perspectives, feedback and solutions in an effort to improve the overall patient experience.
“The Patient and Community Advisory Council is a vital component to San Ramon Regional Medical Center. We believe partnering with patients and family members improves our ability to deliver excellent healthcare,” said Ann Lucena, CEO of San Ramon Regional Medical Center. “Input and involvement from the communities we serve provides important feedback to our programs and services.”
The council’s mission is to promote patient-centeredness across all aspects of care, to provide input about the current and future healthcare needs of the community, and to build better community relationships by incorporating community views into hospital planning and decision-making.
Council members have the opportunity to offer information and recommendations on the patient experience, services offered, and community perception to the San Ramon Regional Medical Center leadership team.
