Wellness Through Words
A Multivocal Anthology on Healthcare, Patient Safety, and Wellness
PRE-LAUNCH ACCOLADES
Wellness Through Words is a collective effort to highlight the vital narratives that shape our experiences within the healthcare environment—narratives that speak to the heart of what it means to be both a patient and a caregiver. This anthology brings together the thoughts, insights, and creative expressions of twenty-five diverse authors—from seasoned medical professionals and mental health specialists to passionate patients and caregivers—who have graciously contributed their unique voices to a singular vision: a safer, more compassionate, and holistic approach to healthcare and wellbeing. Compiling diverse voices for this book is not just a literary endeavor but a clarion call for awareness, understanding, and empathy—fundamental elements for creating healing spaces in our medical institutions and within our lives.
