Film Screening: Everybody’s Work
In recognition of National Nurses Week (May 6-12), the Community Health Commission of Missouri (CHCM) will host a regional film screening series of Everybody’s Work followed by a cross-sector, community-led dialogue on racial equity in nursing, workforce well-being, and institutional healing.
The documentary offers a powerful lens into systemic barriers, bias, recruitment inequities, and the need for institutional accountability. This film elevates a critical question: Why do nurses of color have different experiences than their counterparts?
This event uplifts the lived experiences of Nurses of Color while creating space to:
- Celebrate the contributions of nurses
- Interrogate disparities within systems of care
- Engage students and emerging professionals
- Promote Equity-Centered Trauma-Informed Care (EC-TIC), healing, and community well-being
- Elevate community voices through storytelling and lived experience
