About the Series

For many in healthcare 2020 was a true test of their expertise and loyalty to their profession. Nurses have been on the frontlines in the battle against COVID-19, and even as we progress toward better therapeutics and promising vaccines, the effect of this crisis will be long lasting. In the early days of the pandemic, doctors, nurses and all healthcare professionals were named as heroes and were met at the end of each shift by fire engine sirens, thunderous applause, and cheers by thousands of people. As time wore on, however, the sirens and applause would die out. Faces of Nursing, Houston, is a dynamic documentary and awareness series that will act as a reminder of why their efforts are so important.
‍
Although the pandemic may act as the catalyst for the FACES of NURSING documentary and awareness campaign, it is a project that is well overdue considering the impact nurses have had in healthcare over the years in Houston and surrounding areas. The project will highlight 120 years of professional, compassionate and often heroic service unique within the Gulf Coast Region and will be distributed across several social media platforms prior to and during Nurses Week with the main event being the LIVE Nightly Podcasts of six 30-minutes episodes. The series when then be distributed to nursing organizations, associations, and local medical related libraries.
