With Nurse John bringing healthcare-inspired comedy to the Fox this fall, it’s the perfect time to explore the intersections of laughter, compassion, and the journey of well-being. From hospital hallways to community spaces, care can take many forms. Join us for an open dialogue about breaking stigma, building trust, and finding collective stories that can shape healing. Together, we’ll uncover how humor and human connection can be powerful medicines for individual and community wellbeing.
