Immigrant and Refugee Health Patient Advisory Council

What is the IRHC PAC?

The Patient Advisory Council (PAC) at the Immigrant and Refugee Health Center (IRHC) was established to ensure that the voices and lived experiences of immigrant and refugee patients inform the center’s services, policies, and programs. Through meaningful collaboration between patients, families, caregivers, and staff, the PAC works to create a patient-centered, culturally responsive, and equitable healthcare experience.

Lived experiences of immigrant-specific health conditions
Patient and provider relationships and interactions
Review of educational materials
Formation of PAC structure and operations
