Patient & Family Advisory Program
SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital commits to the delivery of exceptional health care with a healing presence. We believe patients and their families are essential partners at the center of their care. The advisory program is how we ensure that patients and families are at the center of every decision made at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. We understand that life is busy and complex, so we offer a variety of opportunities.
Patient & Family Advisor
Advisors are past patients and family members who have children that have had treatment at any of the SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital facilities. They draw on their experiences and insight to support the hospital in improving the quality of care, safety, and experience of our patients and families. Advisors also co-design new programs.
