Applications Open For 2026 PFAC Compass Honor
The Missouri Hospital Association’s Statewide Patient and Family Advisory Council is now accepting applications for the fifth annual Compass Honor recognition. This award recognizes individuals and teams at Missouri hospitals who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to improving patient engagement, experience, and outcomes through innovative programs and initiatives.
This important honor recognizes Missouri hospitals for outstanding efforts in successfully engaging and integrating a PFAC throughout their organization. By recognizing a model PFAC, MHA encourages the adoption of PFAC best practices that improve the health care experience for patients and providers.
Two Compass Honors will be awarded based on hospital size — one for small hospitals with less than 100 beds and a second for larger hospitals with 100 beds or more. To apply, please complete the online application by Tuesday, Aug. 18.
The selected hospitals will receive a plaque, press kit and an on-site celebration to share this prestigious recognition. View past Compass Honor awardees at MoHospitals.org.
