Chronic Pain Project

General Admission

This gathering allows people living with chronic pain and those who love and care for them to process their experiences with pain. We&#39;ll create art and poetry from recycled medical texts and ephemera.&nbsp; We will provide some materials to get participants started and encourage them to bring their own de-identified items as they feel comfortable. These might include items they would typically throw away such as pill bottles or medical notices. Sarah Stern, MA, MS, is the founder of With Care Creative. She is the Health Communication and Design Lead at Open Notes Labs which studies how patient access to their health information strengthens communication, trust, and safer care.&nbsp;In her spare time, you&rsquo;ll find her making artwork about her patient experience and leading creative workshops that prioritize radical rest in her hometown of Washington, D.C. Meredith Mangold, CPXP, is the founder of Empower Health Strategies and a board member of the Chronic Pain Project living in the Washington, DC area. With more than 15 years of navigating life with multiple chronic conditions, she helps healthcare innovators and organizations design care experiences that make patients and caregivers feel seen, supported, and empowered. At the end of the workday, you can find Meredith on the couch with her two dogs, teaching herself to watercolor while watching true crime documentaries.
