Our range of Community Advisory Committees are just one way we partner with our communities.

 

Committee members join us in a voluntary capacity and meet, usually in-person for one-hour, at least three times per year to discuss community ideas and raise any concerns, with the aim of improving the health services we offer.

 

Anyone is welcome to join any of our Community Advisory Committees, which you can learn more about below.
