We are pleased to announce the selected storyteller lineup for “Healthcare Stories: Together 2026.” This year, we received a record number of submissions highlighting voices from across our health care community.
Onstage, all in one evening, you will hear from patients, providers, students and parents. These rehearsed-but-unscripted stories focus on what “together” can mean in terms of health and health care. From life-saving surgery to being present consistently with people in need, from facing family addiction to navigating the nuances of raising a Deaf child—these stories get to the heart of the magic produced when health is seen as something to be addressed together.
This year’s lineup:
- Van Aston, physician assistant
- Steve Cho, medical student
- Jess Carey, pharmacist
- Annie Frazier, education manager
- Nancy Langman-Axtell, Master of Social Work Internship program coordinator
- Leisha Nolen, epidemiologist
- Lindsay Thompson, senior manager
Our MC for the evening will be Ivan Vazquez, one of our storytellers from 2023.
