The Project for Advancing Healthcare Stewardship (PAHS) facilitates public forums about health and healthcare stewardship. It seeks to disseminate the results of those forums through conventional academic publications, alongside our website, newsletter, digital forums, possible podcasting, and an eventual book project. Our project began prior to COVID-19, but the pandemic highlighted and escalated many of the systemic healthcare challenges that we seek to explore and address, including the need for an intentional antiracism focus in our work. Entrenched healthcare problems exacerbated by COVID-19 include cost escalation, insurance frustration, treatment uncertainty, clinician burnout, and patient distrust. Our collaborative facilitates interactive social discourse and story-making to help people process stress and grief related to the pandemic, and to recognize and communicate long-term about the care they want within the constraints of what is available and potentially effective (all while providing tools and resources to help them do so). Our community-driven, human-first focus is unique, engaging individuals first as active participants in the healthcare system, and second through their roles as providers or patients. Our team incorporates perspectives from evidence-based practice, narrative medicine, behavioral health, sustainability, and community engagement.
