2025 Theme: Hidden Roots
As a hospital community, we come together each day grounded in identities that are deeply rooted in the past and present. While life and circumstance shape all of us differently, we show up, tirelessly maintain everyday operations, and carry forward the shared goals of the health system. So too do the patients and community partners who enter our doors bring deep and hidden roots, identities, and life stories. This year’s edition of Wild Onions thus asks our community to “dig deep” into the “Hidden Roots” within, celebrating the diversity, value, and beauty of our individual and collective histories.
Faculty and staff – both clinical and non clinical – patients, families, students, and volunteers are invited to submit original creative writing, art, or photography work (not previously published) on ALL TOPICS.
We will notify you in late March / early April as to whether your entry is selected for publication.
We look forward to reviewing your art, photos and creative writing submissions.
