Please join the School of Nursing for a special viewing of the documentary by SHIFT Films - "Everybody's Work - Healing What Hurts Us All" on Monday, November 4th from 5-7pm. The in-person viewing will take place in the Student Union Theater and will be followed by a discussion and Q&A. For those unable to attend in person, you can still join virtually by registering for a Live Stream link that will be sent out the week prior to the event.
“Everybody’s Work” examines the hidden disease plaguing healthcare in the United States: structural racism. Through the lens of fearless nurses, this documentary not only exposes the biases that result in worse healthcare outcomes for people of color, but it captures the painful impact they have — both on patients and nurses. This film was created by nurses, but racism affects everyone and as the title reads, this is "Everybody's Work". Takeaways will be applicable in so many ways in many areas.
You must register in advance for both in-person and virtual viewings. Register here.
We look forward to seeing you, sharing this significant film, and discussing how we can work together to make change.
