About Us

Our mission is to find strength with conversation, community, and, ultimately, patience. We began with the idea of waiting with patients in the hospital waiting room - because no one should have to watch the clock alone. We host speakers and workshops to explore medical narratives, host weekly student-led volunteering at local senior centers, offer pre-health mentorship resources, and also provide other local volunteering opportunities. This is the opportunity to inspire meaningful change through conversational care. See www.patientproject.org for an overview of our core initiatives: conversational care, community journal, and campus collaborations.
