The social and existential circumstances of the individual are considered essential for promoting health. This involves a range of continuous and comprehensive care activities that need to be optimized, treating the patient as an organism that is dynamic, complex, and rich in unique characteristics. Several approaches have been proposed to this end, highlighting collective methods that can even use casual environments such as waiting rooms. This project concerns the formation of teams to undertake storytelling to cancer patients and their companions waiting for medical attention at the Oncology Therapy Center at the Santa Casa de Misericordia hospital in Araçatuba/SP. The aim of this work was to provide a pleasanter environment in the waiting room, minimizing anxiety and offering opportunities for reflection and expression, based on the principles of improving quality of life and promoting health.
