Inspired by Humans of New York, Nafisa Husein created a project in January 2017 to feature the hard-working individuals of the hospital and the ICU-Bridge program. Through portrait photography and insightful interviews, this photoblog initiative tells the stories of the humans of the hospital.

The Humans of the Hospital photoblog features all kinds of people who either volunteer or work as part of the ICU Bridge Program team. There may be a  misconception that if you are in the sciences, you are probably not interested in the arts and vice-versa. Guess what? It is possible and in fact more common than you think! Photography is a superb way to convey a complex idea into a single still image. It is easier and more profound to see someone’s emotions through a photograph to understand what he or she is expressing, than to read about them in an article. Photography has always been one of my passions and what better way to explore it further than using it to convey the stories of the hardworking men and women in our hospitals and the ICU Bridge Program?
