Patient and Family Experience Advisory (PFEA)

PFEAs are volunteers who share their unique thoughts and perspectives to ensure the voices of patients and families are heard. They provide input to Lakeridge Health teams about programs and practices that affect patient care and services. 

Learn more about the Patient and Family Experience Advisor program. 

If you have any questions about the program or would like to apply to be a PFEA, please contact Lina Reid, Patient Experience Consultant at advisors@lh.ca or at 905-576-8711 extension 32434.
