CHKD Advisory Councils

Advisory councils at CHKD provide a vital link between CHKD and the community. Council members include current and former patients and family members who have experienced CHKD programs and services firsthand. Members have varied backgrounds and health care experiences.

As a volunteer advisory member, you will work alongside hospital administrators and select staff to provide valuable feedback and guidance to ensure the best, most comprehensive, and safest possible care to our children.
