TBRHSC’s 15th Annual Sharing and Caring Together Event

Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC) is celebrating 15 years of Sharing and Caring Together, taking place from October 21 to 25, 2024. A collaboration between our Patient Family Advisors (PFAs) and Patient and Family Centred Care (PFCC) department, this week-long event celebrates the hard work and dedication to advancing the patient experience at TBRHSC.

PFAs are volunteers who contribute their time, knowledge, and personal experiences of care, to help the Hospital understand what is working well and where there are opportunities for improvement. Their involvement is integral to shaping a truly patient-centered approach.

This year’s event will feature a variety of engaging activities, including educational lunch-and-learns and coffee rounds, where PFAs and staff will share stories and insights. The week concludes with a full-day exhibition, showcasing the work of departments from across the Hospital, and how they bring the principles of patient and family centred care to life.

New this year, PFCC, along with Volunteer Services and Human Resources, is hosting a recruitment event at Goods and Co. on Wednesday, October 23, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. All are welcome to attend—whether you’re interested in chatting with one of our PFAs or volunteers or exploring career opportunities at TBRHSC.

This event is thanks to the hard work of our PFAs and our community donors. A heartfelt “thank you” for their support and overwhelming generosity, which have been vital in ensuring the success of this year’s Sharing and Caring Together.

This week is an important opportunity to reflect on the power of patient-centered care, celebrate our achievements, and continue building on our efforts to improve the patient experience at TBRHSC.
