At UCLA Health, we believe patients and families are essential partners in keeping everyone safe.

The Infection Prevention Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC) works alongside our Clinical Epidemiology and Infection Prevention (CEIP) team to make sure your voices help shape our infection prevention efforts.

Our goal is simple: put patients and families at the center of everything we do to prevent infections — from improving safety practices to building better communication.
