Teen Advisory Council

Who we are

The Teen Advisory Council (TAC) is a group of teens who have joined to serve as a forum to explore areas of interest to our teen patients and siblings. Members will be either patients or siblings of patients at USA Health Children’s & Women’s Hospital.

Focus

TAC will give members an avenue to voice recommendations of ways to enhance the quality and quantity of programs and practices that affect and are important to teens during hospital stays. It is our goal that TAC members will gain leadership experience, public speaking and presentation opportunities
