Peer Perspectives & Connections
Presentation Topic: My Favorite Things. Participants are invited to show or talk about an item that helps in their illness journey.
Event Description
Participants are invited to bring something that has helped them in their illness journey or an item of comfort and share it with the group in a show-and-tell format. The sharing will take place in breakout rooms and we will discuss as a full group at the end if there is time.
This patient-led, community-focused event is hosted on the Bateman Horne Center’s Zoom platform and designed to provide individuals living with chronic illnesses a welcoming space to connect, share, and learn from one another. Whether you’re living with a chronic illness, a family member, or a friend looking to understand and support, these gatherings create a warm, inclusive space to ease isolation and foster meaningful connections.
Please note: This September marks the final PPC gathering. What began with face-to-face lunches grew into a vibrant online space during the pandemic—allowing so many new voices to join, connect, and share. Led by volunteers, PPC has been a meaningful part of BHC’s journey. Thank you to every person who shared your wisdom, vulnerability, and story. Stay tuned for information about our new program “Coffee with a Clinician!” (PPC may get a new home. We will keep you posted)
