Our Community Threads

CHASM exists to champion the transformational power of arts-based practices in medicine, infusing humanistic values into training and discourse to advance equity, kindness, connection, critical thinking, and justice. Connecting across campus highlights how partnerships across SMPH and UW Health — and the wider community — make us stronger. We welcome collaborations with diverse groups that share our vision, always with a clear eye on medical humanities, weaving together stories and practices that build resilience and belonging.
