2025 HASD&IC Annual Meeting: Leaning on Storytelling to Affect Change

“Stories are remembered up to 22 times more than facts alone.” 
— Jennifer Aaker, Stanford Marketing Professor 

At HASD&IC, we know the power of stories. Every day, our hospitals and community partners live out stories of resilience, healing, and compassion. These stories remind us why we do this work and why it matters so deeply for the patients and families we serve.

Hope Amid the Chaos

— Fred Rogers
