Patient Advisory Council

The Patient Advisory Council is a highly engaged group of volunteers who live with chronic diseases and serve as the patient voice within the Chronic Disease Coalition.

As a standing body, their mission is to provide strategic advice, advocacy insights, and patient-centered perspectives to support the Coalition’s efforts to influence policy and drive healthcare reform by raising the patient voice in policymaking. Council members also play an important role in representing the Coalition with other organizations, individuals and policymakers at the state and federal level.
