Mercy Health - Springfield Regional Medical Center and Urbana Hospital is launching a council that will give the community a chance to help improve local healthcare, and is looking for volunteers.

The health system is launching a Patient and Family Advisory Council with the goal to gather a group of former or current patients and family members to help provide feedback about their experiences and insights on their healthcare needs.

Information will be used to get a better understanding and a new perspective to help improve experience of care and maximize positive outcomes for patients and their families.

Mercy Health would like the council to include representation from Clark and Champaign counties so both communities the system serves are represented.
