| | | | The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is proud to present the Voices of the NIH Community, a collection of stories from patients, loved ones, researchers, doctors and nurses, and other members of the NIH community recorded in collaboration with StoryCorps, a national oral history project. Voices of the NIH Community captures the full range of experiences: from the joy of saving lives to the pain of losing a loved one. Participants of the project reflect on the stigma sometimes associated with disease and the deep bonds that can form between patients and their doctors and nurses. The narratives describe the experience of being part of a clinical trial as well as the impact of lesser known NIH-funded efforts. These stories touch on cancer, HIV/AIDS, stroke, autism, MS, and many other conditions. | | | | Listen Now | | |
