The Family Advisory Council was established in 1998 as a community partner with the hospital. The council pays close attention to the details and full spectrum of the care that is provided to the children in our community.

In 2022, the FAC developed an initiative to personally recognize hospital staff and physicians on a quarterly basis. Physicians, as well as clinical and non-clinical staff who have impacted parents and patients beyond the “hospital visit” or “service/treatment received” are to be honored and applauded.

The Family Advisory Council is happy to recognize the excellent and stellar efforts provided by Dr. Malvezzi during the second quarter of 2023. The following feedback was received about him:

“He was compassionate, attentive, and professional while speaking to my daughter. He carefully discussed examples of everything in a soothing manner. He even provided examples that were in age-appropriate terms to explain the diagnosis and treatment.”
