Patient Partner Council

At Wellington Health Care Alliance (WHCA) - Groves Memorial Community Hospital, Louise Marshall Hospital, and Palmerston and District Hospital, we believe that patients, their families and public engagement is essential to improving health care. Our patient engagement efforts are designed to encourage, enable and empower all members of our community to be full participants in the care they receive - and to help patients, families and health professionals join hands together to improve our health system.
