Patient Advisory Councils
The Patient/Family Community Advisory Council of Lawrence Memorial Hospital (LMH): In 2008 Hallmark Health strived to strengthen its relationships in the community by continuing to sponsor and facilitate the Community Advisory Council for Lawrence Memorial Hospital. This group was created to assist LMH in becoming more knowledgeable about the diverse needs of the patients it serves, particularly as it relates to culture and race. The group is comprised of a representative from physician services, a group of community members of diverse ages and backgrounds, and leadership from the hospital. The group meets monthly.
The Community Advisory Council of Melrose Wakefield Hospital (MWH): Following in the footsteps of the LMH Community Advisory Council, in 2008, Hallmark Health convened the Community Advisory Council of the Melrose-Wakefield Hospital. This Council is comprised of a representative from physician services, a group of five community members of diverse ages and backgrounds, and leadership from the hospital. The group meets monthly.
In the coming year, the Councils will assist Hallmark Health to strengthen collaborations around meeting the divergent health needs of the Hallmark Health communities and to provide input into the planning of future Community activities and initiatives.
