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.
