I designed this large folding poster (40x30”) outlining the key phases and processes of the project.

A community-driven broadcast of patient stories from across Northern California

Outpatient Radio is a community radio special produced with the team at the UC Davis Center for Design in the Public Interest (DiPi):

Weaving together the stories of eight chronic pain patients from Solano, Sacramento, and Shasta Counties, the program explores ways to help patients and communities talk about chronic pain and chronic pain treatment. Through collecting and sharing stories in-person, on-air, and online, we are exploring how narratives connect, inform, and support communities through listening and conversation.

Project goals

• combat the stigma and isolation of chronic pain by sharing patient stories
• improve patient and public understanding of the many issues surrounding chronic pain and pain treatment
• engage the North State community in this issue through radio programming, interactive listening events, and more

Community partners

The project was produced in collaboration with Hill Country Health and Wellness Center (Shasta County) with support from Art Rx at the Crocker Art Museum (Sacramento County). The program originally aired on KKRN 88.5 FM in Round Mountain, CA. It has since aired on on KDVS 90.3 FM in Davis, CA and is available for streaming online.
