How we can help tell the healthcare story

1. Teach health professionals how to draw simple sketches
2. Create handouts for health professionals to draw on.
3. Collaborate on projects
4. Recommend good places to get clip art.

No matter how well presented material is or excellent the content
it is, the job is not complete until patients and family members confirm
that they understand.
Interpretation of visual through healthcare story is very important
in educating people about how they can understand the health information
