Family Advisory Council
Our Stories


"The Family Advisory Council has provided me as a parent comfort in knowing that the University of Iowa's Children's Hospital continues to strive to improve the care and environment in which that care is provided to our children. I am so proud to be a part of that voice."

—Katrina

"Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of FAC at UI Children's Hospital. I appreciate the opportunity to share my story and have you value my input. I am passionate about not only my child but all children and would be honored to do any work on their behalf."

—Jackie

"FAC has allowed my family to have a voice and serve children being cared for at University of Iowa Children's Hospital. This council shows up at every meeting eager to make a difference and the energy is contagious. I'm proud of a facility that desires and values family feedback. Thank you UI Children's Hospital!"

—Sherry

"The reason I joined the FAC is simple: my husband and I would not have our two amazing sons if it weren't for UI Children's Hospital. Our family benefited so much from patient- and family-centered care when our children were hospitalized, and we feel honored to give back to the hospital in any way we can."

—Jonna

"When our son was in the hospital, we were told that we should always be advocates for his healthcare. From that day forward, that message has carried with us during each appointment, surgery, and hospitalization. As members of the Family Advisory Council, we are privileged to advocate not only on his behalf, but on behalf of all children served by UI Children's Hospital."

—Mark and Jenny
