Patient Education Committee

Patient Education Committee

The Patient Education Committee works to improve the quality of patient care and promote patient safety through educational efforts that recognize patients as integral members of the surgical team. The Committee aims to help patients and their significant others become thoroughly informed about their operation, provide evidence to guide them in their decisions, and empower them with the knowledge and skills necessary to participate in their surgical care and continued postoperative care upon discharge.
