You are not alone.
Navigating illness can be isolating, but it doesn’t have to be. At Health Story Collaborative, we believe in story sharing for health.
We are patient-centered, research-based, and committed to the therapeutic power of storytelling. We strive to create a space where story sharing is valued and honored within the healthcare system.
