I’m hosting an event to foster interest in Graphic Medicine in Guilford County, NC! Registration link and more info at adenhailemariam.com. I’ll also be encouraging participation in the 2026 Graphic Medicine Conference @graphicmedicine.bsky.social

#GraphicMedicine #comics #health #HealthCare
Background of lined notebook paper with doodles in purple, digital pencil of various health and healthcare related images. In the middle is information about an event called Graphic Medicine in Guilford County hosted by Aden Hailemariam listing the date as Sunday, January 4, 2026 at 12 PM to 1:30 PM on Zoom. You can register by scanning the QR code in the image or going to adenhailemariam.com. There is a QR code in the center of the page and large text that says register today! The doodles include a laptop, a respirator with head straps, drawings of the same person with back pain and chest pain with a question about acid reflux around the bodies, someone holding their head in pain with a jagged thought bubble containing an ice pick, two different eye charts, two hands holding a comic book, two faceless people sitting at a table with papers and pen and a laptop with an air fan/purifier between them, a hospital sign you'd see on the road, a model of the human mouth, pain scale like smiley faces from smile to frown and one last face that looks a touch less cartoony, a bottle of prescription medication, a person sitting in a chair with their sleeve rolled up and a bandage on their arm showing that they got a vaccination.

GMIC exists because we believe in the power of comics to change how we see health and humanity.

As #GivingTuesday approaches, we’re asking you to help us continue this work. Even a small contribution goes a long way toward keeping GM open, inclusive, and sustainable.
