“Participating in The Artist’s Way Bookclub for healthcare workers has felt like another homecoming.”
What began in December 2020 as two friends talking after hard shifts became a community of healthcare workers reminding each other they are not alone. Your gift keeps that space open for the next clinician who needs it.
