Join us for a screening of "Everybody's Work: Healing what hurts us all".

Medical professionals hands with instruments

“Everybody’s Work” 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.

A stark reality emerges through their stories: the experiences within healthcare, nursing school, and at the bedside drastically differ for people of color compared to their white counterparts.

As the largest and most trusted body of healthcare professionals, nurses are uniquely positioned to lead the charge against systemic racism. Discover how nurses who dare to challenge the status quo are paving the way toward a healthier future for all. This film serves as a rallying cry, reminding us that healing from racism in healthcare is a collective responsibility that transcends individual professions and identities. It’s everybody’s work.
