The Narrative Initiative

09/01/2022

We are so saddened to learn of the tragic accident that took the life of Dr Lorraine Dickey, who created The Narrative Initiative
The Narrative Initiative's mission is to bring kindness to medical care and the world. Please let Lorraine's voice and allow her good work to live on by listening to her voice, her story and her mission in her own words in a podcast we did with her: https://soundcloud.com/thewisdomcoalitionpodcast/wow-142-injecting-kindness-into-healthcare-with-dr-lorraine-dickey
This picture was taken in the spring when we had the pleasure to speak at The Narrative Initiative's Gathering of Kindness at Muhlenberg College. Life is so precious. She was so kind, so intelligent and an absolute force working to make the world better. We have lost a bright light.
