Cerebral Palsy Family Advisory Council
To help deliver the family-centered care Nemours is known for, we formed a Family Advisory Council (FAC) group for our cerebral palsy program. The goal of this advisory council is to constantly improve the care and service we deliver. The group is made up of parents of children with CP and members of our care team. The council helps give objective viewpoints about new and existing services and processes, and fosters partnerships among children, families and staff. Our FAC also extends information, education and support to the families of kids with CP.
