In short
- Georgia requires our Agency to have a group of professional personnel, including a doctor and a registered nurse, that advises us.
- At least one member is not an owner or employee, so we get an outside view.
- The group meets at least once every three months and reviews our key policies every year.
- The group helps check the quality of our care. If you have an idea to improve a policy, give it to your supervisor for the next meeting.
