Get involved

At Newfoundland and Labrador Health services, we value the contributions of every person who helps make our health-care system better and stronger. We rely on those with lived experiences to keep us informed on how we are doing and to help us address the needs of the communities we serve.

There are many ways you can get involved, from becoming a volunteer with NL Health Services to participating in public engagement activities.

We value your feedback on potential decisions, issues and opportunities. NL Health Services has adopted a Public Engagement Framework that outlines our commitment to public participation.

Community Advisory Committees (CACs) across the province engage community members, including clients and their families, to help plan, implement and evaluate primary health-care services. Our CACs are valuable resources that collaborate with health-care teams to improve the health of our communities.

A patient and family experience advisor is someone who has received care in recent years, has had multiple past experiences as a patient or family supporter, and is willing to share their experience to make a positive impact in health care. These individuals play a key role in shaping better care for everyone.

NL Health Services has over 100 patient and family experience advisors across the province. They participate in many ways, from providing input on projects or activities to joining advisory councils and participating in leadership recruitment.
