MyPaTH Story Booth

I posted before about the power of storytelling in helping people heal. With that in mind I wanted to give a shout out to an effort that I became aware of several years ago called the “MyPaTH Story Booth”. The effort is a project initiated by a collection of health systems here in the northeast which have formed an organization (called PaTH) that promotes patient-centered research. The Story Booth is exactly what the name suggests: a mobile interview room that solicits patients and caregivers to simply recount their experiences with the health care system. These interviews form a collection of real-world testimonials that are helpful both researchers as well as fellow patients/caregivers who are coping with similar health care journeys. If you’d like to listen to some of these testimonials, or volunteer to tell your own story, visit the MyPaTH Story Booth site here.
