Event description
Join us for a lively gathering of narrative medicine practice, new collaborative news, and door prizes! The Northwest Narrative Medicine Collaborative annual gathering will be held virtually on Oct. 21. We are excited to announce new leadership and NWNMC opportunities. Discuss narrative medicine with friendly folks who are passionate about the practice, check out a silent auction raising funds to support narrative medicine work in our region (it’s got great workshops, art offerings, and PNW goodies). Bring your beverage of choice and join us (virtually) for the party!
