Welcome to the Sacred Story Hub

A repository of personal accounts and stories of sacred moments told by those who have experienced them. The Sacred Story Hub features shared moments between patients and their healthcare providers which may occur organically at times of crisis, great joy, or during quiet times. Sharing stories can provide support, encourage understanding, foster connections, inspire others, and create change.

  • "It was a very spiritual moment… it was like being in the Garden of Gethsemane."

    - Nurse

    - Patient
