Patient Submissions

On The Hill invites patients and loved ones to share original reflective work that explores lived experiences of illness, healing, and encounters with the healthcare system in our Patient Submissions category.

Contributions may include personal narratives, reflections, poems, or brief vignettes that capture moments of vulnerability, resilience, connection, or insight from the patient point of view.

Submissions should honor privacy and confidentiality (HIPAA), be original work, and follow the journal’s formatting guidelines.

These pieces amplify patient voices and illuminate the deeply human dimensions of medicine through storytelling, poetry, art, advocacy, and reflection.
