ScrubsAndScrolls
Illustrated health stories, speaking, and educational content that help organizations make complex topics easier to understand and talk about.
From a storybook page
to a real conversation.
Our work with Tule River brings illustrated storybooks into community health conversations. These are the materials behind the work: original characters, familiar questions, and health topics explored through story.
Recently shared at our Tule River Lunch & Learn.
The recent Lunch & Learn offered a chance to introduce ScrubsAndScrolls, share the storybooks, and discuss how storytelling can support health education. The ongoing project gives the work room to develop through collaboration.
A story about type 2 diabetes and learning to work with your body.
A story about high blood pressure and taking back control.
An introduction to the stories, the visual world, and the purpose behind them.
A recurring clinical guide in the ScrubsAndScrolls stories. She helps connect the imaginative world with the everyday questions people bring to healthcare.
“Every healer is a hero in training.”Sam T. Vang · Founder, ScrubsAndScrolls
Created by a clinician. Built around a conversation. The artwork invites readers in; the health topic gives the story its purpose.
Built with your audience and goals in mind.
ScrubsAndScrolls partners with healthcare teams, community organizations, schools, and universities to turn important health topics into stories and experiences people want to engage with. Each project can start with one focused piece or grow into a wider education campaign.
Develop original characters, illustrated storybooks, and supplemental educational materials around the questions your community is asking. We can shape a story for a specific topic, audience, program, or event.
Invite Sam for a keynote, lunch and learn, school presentation, or community conversation. His clinical experience and personal story bring a human voice to health education and the future of healthcare.
Collaborate on visual explainers, short videos, and campaign content that help your message travel beyond a single event. The goal is clear, approachable information your team can share across channels.

MSN, FNP-CFamily Nurse Practitioner
Founder & Creative Director, ScrubsAndScrolls
I grew up in Visalia, where my family received care at the clinic where I now practice. My mother worked there, too. Today, some of the people who once cared for us are my colleagues. That full-circle connection keeps my community at the center of this work.
I know how intimidating health information can feel when the words are unfamiliar and you do not know what to ask. As a clinician, I want people to leave a conversation feeling heard and able to understand what comes next.
I created ScrubsAndScrolls because I have always loved the way illustrated stories and characters stay with us. I bring that passion into health education: turning real questions into stories that make learning clearer, more memorable, and less frightening. Alongside clinical practice, I teach advanced pathophysiology at Fresno Pacific University and am pursuing my Doctor of Nursing Practice at Fresno State.
