What is the Community Advisory Committee?
The Community Advisory Committee (CAC) is a sub-committee of the Eye & Ear

Hospital’s services, from a community perspective.
The CAC has a role is promoting community involvement in the hospital;
helping to communicate with our communities; advocating on behalf of communities
