Patient Partner Council
At Wellington Health Care Alliance (WHCA), which includes Groves Memorial Community Hospital, Louise Marshall Hospital, and Palmerston and District Hospital, we truly value the vital role that patients, their families, and community members play in shaping and improving health care. Our approach to engagement is to foster an environment where everyone feels encouraged, enabled, and empowered to be active participants in their own care.
We believe that by working together—patients, families, community members and health professionals alike—we can make meaningful strides toward building a stronger health system. We invite and welcome the involvement of all members of our community to contribute to this ongoing effort to enhance health care for everyone.
