Community Advisory Boards are the formal and direct links between each HHC facility and its patients and local advocates. The CABs contribute to planning, program development and service delivery. Members also provide invaluable advocacy and advice from the local community perspective.

All of the meetings of each CAB are open to the public. Community members are encouraged to contact their local CAB office to inquire about the scheduled meetings or to address issues and concerns to the CAB.
