2025 Health Humanities Consortium Conference

We are honored to be a sponsor of the 2025 Health Humanities Consortium Conference, hosted by Thomas Jefferson University.

This international gathering brings together scholars, practitioners, and students advancing humanities, arts, and social sciences in health, illness, and healthcare.

The event fosters the kind of narrative-driven dialogue that’s core to our mission: elevating storytelling in professional practice.

Introducing Narrative Medicine to High School Students

Our inaugural Mindworks Narrative Lab featured Dr. Sue Kenney, a thought leader in narrative pedagogy and creator of one of the first high school-level Narrative Medicine courses in the country. With over two decades of teaching experience and a Certificate of Professional Achievement in Narrative Medicine from Columbia University, Dr. Kenney shared how she designed a semester-long course for juniors and seniors at Immaculate Heart Academy in New Jersey.

Participants also took part in hands-on exercises inspired by Sue’s methods—gaining insight into how narrative medicine can be introduced earlier in the education pipeline to shape the next generation of compassionate professionals.
