What is PFAC?

The Oregon Legislature established the Patient-Centered Primary Care Home Program in 2009 to set the standard for high-quality, patient-centered primary care. As your Patient-Centered Medical Home, Oak Street Medical has been at the forefront of health care reform and strives to deliver comprehensive, high-quality care.

The Patient and Family Advisory Council for Oak Street Medical will help ensure that patients have a voice in their medical care. We will accomplish this by creating a partnership with patients, family members and their health care team to provide excellence in prevention, treatment, and education. The PFAC Council will meet twice a year or more to improve processes and procedures, create programs, and increase patient satisfaction.

Here are some of the many topics our PFAC committee members are working on: patient gaps in care for colonoscopies, mammograms, cervical cancer screenings, social needs and ways to assist patients with assessing community programs or creating onsite classes/programs, as well as increasing patient portal usage.

For more information, please see our PFAC flyer and brochure.
