Get Involved Where Your Child Receives Care

Family advisory councils in Florida are organized by region. Parents and caregivers can get involved through the council connected to the Nemours location where their child receives or received care.

Council members share feedback with Nemours Children's teams about care, communication, clinic operations, and the family experience. Participation details vary by region.
