As part of The Nurse Narratives Initiative, StoryCollab designed and facilitated a series of powerful screening events—both public and internal—that brought nursing stories to life across the Appalachian Highlands. These events created space for connection, reflection, and renewed purpose among nurses, students, and healthcare professionals.
