We don't have an active program with my system any longer; however, I saw a report from the AHVRP which mentioned numerous programs from various hospitals, and one of them was a program called Storycatchers out of Longmont United Hospital in Colorado. Below is the summary of the program from the report.
Summary of program: Volunteers interview patients and write narratives or poems depicting the patients’ life stories. If the patient chooses, the stories are shared with hospital staff, physicians, families and friends.
