At Taussig Cancer Center, you’re at the heart of everything we do. Your voice matters, and Healthcare Partners (formerly the Voice of the Patient Advisory Council) offers a meaningful way to work with us to improve the care experience for everyone.
By joining this volunteer advisory group, you can share your experiences and feedback to help shape care for future patients and families.
This program supports patient- and family-centered care. It gives you the opportunity to share your perspective directly with our care teams, staff and leaders — helping us better understand what matters most to those we serve.
As a healthcare partner, you’ll share invaluable first-hand experiences and unique insight into our care, focusing on safety, well-being and overall positive patient experiences. Together with key leaders, you’ll help improve our patient services and programs and make sure patients and caregivers continue to receive the high quality of care they deserve and expect at Cleveland Clinic.
Healthcare Partners is part of a Cleveland Clinic program that brings patients, caregivers and employees together to make a difference and improve experiences across the organization.
Healthcare Partner members are nominated by our leadership team. You may be invited to join if you:
As a Healthcare Partner incumbent, you’ll complete a short screening application and attend a volunteer orientation (including a background check and TB test). You’ll also be asked to commit to monthly two-hour meetings at Taussig Cancer Center for one year.
Healthcare Partners have played a hands-on role in shaping care across the Cleveland Clinic Cancer Center. They’ve reviewed policies like visitation and discharge, helped define service expectations for staff, renovated family areas, developed educational materials for various nursing units and much more. Their input continues to guide decisions and shape the future of cancer care at Cleveland Clinic.
