Ochsner Health is a system that delivers health to the people of Louisiana, Mississippi and the Gulf South with a mission to Serve, Heal, Lead, Educate and Innovate.
The Patient & Family Advisory Board (PFAB) seeks to enhance the delivery of healthcare at Ochsner Health by providing a vehicle of communications that binds patients and their families with the entire staff. Furthermore, it's the goal of the Patient & Family Advisory Board to continue the belief of Dr. Alton Ochsner, one of our founders, that at Ochsner, "the patient and patients' family come first."
If you are a patient or family member interested in serving on our Patient & Family Advisory Board, please e-mail AdvisoryBoard@ochsner.org and complete an application.
Membership consists of a small group of diverse adult volunteers with direct experience to Ochsner Health including:
"Bill spent between five and six months as a patient at Ochsner. During that time, the entire Ochsner team provided exceptional care to not only Bill as a patient, but also to Cindy and the entire family. The physicians, nursing staff, support staff, VAD coordinators, social workers and the entire Heart Transplant team were always available for questions and support. They made what was an extremely trying and difficult time much more bearable.
We feel an obligation to Ochsner to assist them in their mission. This institution was established to provide world-class healthcare with an emphasis on the patient and their family. It is an honor to be allowed to serve on this board to ensure that the interaction between the hospital and the patients and their families is as pleasant an experience as possible.
We hope to serve Ochsner for many years to come."
