Movie Night

Join your colleagues and view Everybody's Work: Healing What Hurts Us All, directed by Chand Tingle. This film examines the hidden disease plaguing healthcare in the United States: systemic 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. Light refreshments will be served.
