Patient and Family Partnership Council

At Cody Regional Health, we believe our patients and their families are not just recipients of care—but essential partners in shaping it.

What is the PFPC?

The Patient and Family Partnership Council (PFPC) is a collaborative advisory group composed of Cody Regional Health employees, past or current patients, and family members. The Council helps inform and shape our policies, services, and culture to ensure they reflect the needs, preferences, and values of those we serve.
