The Community Practice Advisory Council: Bringing a Community Voice to Projects and Initiatives that affect PCPs

The Community Practice Advisory Council (CPAC) was created to serve the children, their families and healthcare providers in the greater Cincinnati area. CPAC strives to accomplish this by promoting effective and collaborative communication and partnership between Cincinnati Children’s and those in the community. Recent projects and initiatives include the Medical Home Project, PICU communication and mental health access.
