Description
Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital's Patient Experience team identified a need to help patients keep track of questions for their care team during their hospital stay. Working with Courtney White, BSN, RNC-OB, CPXP, Director of Patient Experience, I led the concept, design, and production of My Care Journal, a personal health notebook now distributed to patients hospital-wide.

Goal
To give patients an easy way to keep track of what they wanted to discuss with their physicians and nurses, while also offering a light, comforting presence during their stay.

Design Solution
The cover pairs Henry Mayo's brand colors and 50th-anniversary mark with simple, friendly icon illustrations of a stethoscope, a nurse, and a medical kit, keeping the tone warm and approachable rather than clinical. I built the full note-taking layout in InDesign and Illustrator, with a few puzzle pages included for patients to enjoy during downtime, generated with the help of Anthropic's Claude.
