What is PBC Stories?

PBC Stories Online is a spiritual successor to a series of interdisciplinary, oral storytelling programs held at the Phoenix Bioscience Core from 2019 - 2023. In seeking to carrry forward the original goals of the series, PBC Stories Online links viewers to video stories by people who have lived the challenges of being a healthcare system that is oftentimes not designed for the very people it seeks to serve.
