The Patient and Family Advisory Committee (PFAC) works in partnership with the CHEO Research Institute (CHEO-RI) to embed patient and family perspectives into all stages of research, from idea generation to knowledge sharing. The PFAC brings together research staff, family leaders, and youth to ensure that CHEO-RI research reflects the needs, priorities, and lived experiences of the communities we serve.
