The PFAnetwork is a national network of patients and family members who are seeking to reinvent the healthcare system by harnessing their shared experiences as Patient Family Advisors.
Patient Family Advisors are people using their lived experience to improve healthcare together.
“The PFAnetwork is the only place to learn how to be a better Patient Advisor.” Bill A.
