The Patient Project
patience & strength
Aging can be a challenging period for individuals from all walks of life and our goal is to offer companionship and conversation. In addition to volunteering at senior centers through our UCI Wellness Project, we also host speakers and workshops to explore medical narratives, the phenomenon of waiting, and explore the pre-health world. In quarantine, we launched a journal titled Patience and Pandemic and have been recently featured on the UCI News. What started as an idea to alleviate loneliness while waiting in the hospital has now turned into something that promotes community, mental health awareness, and overall well-being throughout Orange County.
