NURSE DOCUMENTARY

Screenings

Bring a customized screening to your organization and spark meaningful dialogue around empathy, resilience, and patient-centered care.

How it works

We make it easy to host a meaningful screening of NURSE: Empathy  Heals—whether you want to lead it yourself or partner with us for additional support. You can:

  • Host your own screening using our toolkit
  • Have us join virtually to host and facilitate reflection and discussion
  • Partner with us for an in-person event

Step 1 - Submit Request

Tell us a little about your event—your audience, goals, and preferred format  (in-person, virtual, or hybrid).

Step 2 - Plan Your Experience

We’ll follow up to help you determine the best approach.  

Step 3 - Host your Screening

Bring your group together to watch the film and create space for reflection and  conversation.

Whether you lead it yourself or partner with us, the goal is the same: to create a shared experience that fosters empathy, connection, and  compassionate care.
