Patient Ambassador *FOR ALL COUNTIES IN SC*
A patient ambassador enhances the patient experience by providing non-medical support, acting as a liaison, and offering comfort, often bridging gaps between patients, families, and staff, with roles ranging from bedside companionship (reading, bringing blankets) to administrative help (restocking supplies, answering calls) and patient feedback gathering, aiming to improve satisfaction and create a more positive, human-centered environment.

Administrative Assistance: Restocking supplies, answering phone calls, and assisting nurses with non-clinical tasks.
• Feedback & Experience Improvement: Conducting patient interviews, gathering feedback, and helping develop action plans to boost satisfaction.
