Meet the Founder

Dr. Jane Silovsky, PhD OUHSC Principal Investigator

As the Founder of the Parent Advisory Committee (PAC), Dr. Silovsky established a pioneering framework that brought together parents, community leaders, and healthcare professionals to advocate for family health and resilience. Her vision for PAC was to create a platform where families could actively participate in shaping health services and policies that directly impact them. Jane's leadership in building the PAC set the foundation for a highly collaborative, evidence-based approach to improving family well-being, particularly in underserved communities. Her innovative approach empowered families to take a leading role in health promotion and advocacy, ensuring that their voices were integral to the decision-making process.
