    Part four video shows the importance of relationships between healthcare providers, patients, and families in order to understand the sophisticated technology and the more complex health care delivery systems in the United States, specifically, in the teaching hospital, the Medical College of Georgia. The mutual communication and cooperation among these population groups provide fundamental changes in transforming the institution into a nationally recognized facility where a partnership is a guiding vision to the care it delivers. Once a month, a special committee meets in the hospital consisting of a Parent Advisory Group and a children 's advisory group and the kids get to offer suggestions on what changes they want to see made in the center.
