About this Event
Join us at 6:30 p.m. CT on Monday, September 19, for the theatrical debut of “Who Cares: A Nurse’s Fight for Equity” — a documentary by SHIFT Films featuring Whitney Fear, a nurse practitioner at Family HealthCare (FHC) in Fargo.
Hosted by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and SHIFT, an online community and resource for nurses, this free event celebrates all that nurses have done -- and are doing -- to fight for their community’s health. The film's debut will be followed by a panel discussion with film subjects and local nurse leaders in the fight for health equity.
Complimentary popcorn and beverages will be provided. Masks are encouraged.
Find out #WhoCaresAboutHealthEquity.
About the Film
Whitney Fear is someone who cares. But growing up on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, one of the poorest areas in the United States, it could sometimes feel like no one did.
On the reservation, her family and other members of the Oglala Lakota Nation struggled to survive. Limited resources still contribute to the lowest life expectancy nationwide. But it was in her community that Whitney found the care and support she needed to discover a new path. A path to become a nurse.
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, Whitney Fear extends the compassion, empathy and respect at the foundation of her Lakota culture to the many people she cares for at Family HealthCare, a federally qualified health center in Fargo, North Dakota.
Her story is one of adversity, compassion and the difference it can make when one person cares. Especially when that person is a nurse.
SHIFT
SHIFT is a community for nurses to listen, read, laugh, cry, think and talk about big issues — together. We believe in the power of community because we know that you (yes, YOU) can shape the future of nursing. But none of us can do it alone.
“Who Cares” is our first film. We hope it encourages, motivates and inspires this generation of nurses to be advocates for health equity — and see their potential as leaders in the community.
We’re constantly sharing resources to support nurses on our website. Please let us know if you’d like to become more involved in elevating nurses, together.
SHIFT — and the production of this film — is supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
