Families are Centered in Everything We Do
Our Patient-Family Advisory Council provides essential guidance to the NEC Society, ensuring families’ voices shape our work and drive meaningful change.

Empowering Families to Lead the Way
The NEC Society integrates the patient and family voice in all our work. We recognize the value of patients’ and families’ lived experiences. The Patient-Family Advisory Council provides a formal mechanism for patients and families to provide feedback, insight, and advice on our work. The Patient-Family Advisory Council is an official standing advisory committee to the NEC Society, just like our Scientific Advisory Council.
