MHA’s Statewide PFAC challenges every hospital in the state of Missouri to appoint at least one nonemployee patient or family member serving on at least one committee within the organization by July 2020.
“I am excited to be at the forefront of the guidance process in patient and healthcare initiatives which could ultimately impact the local level,” stated Myleah Shrimpton.
