EVANSVILLE MUSEUM TO SCREENÂ THE INVISIBLE PATIENTS
On Thursday, February 16 the Evansville Museum of Arts, History & Science will show The Invisible Patients. This documentary tells the story of Jessica Macleod, a nurse practitioner, and four homebound patients she cares for in Evansville, Indiana. Together they put a human face on some of the most urgent healthcare issues facing our nation, from the living conditions of the elderly poor and end-of-life care, to the soaring costs of hospitalization, complexity of insurance and over prescription of opiates. Their stories reveal the emotional as well as financial burdens created by our current system, and cry out for solutions.
The Invisible Patients pulls back the curtain on a hidden, vulnerable population, whose circumstances ask us to wrestle with not just healthcare policy, but as importantly, how to mend today’s fraying social fabric. The documentary will start at 6:00 p.m. in the Koch Immersive Theater. Admission is $7 for the public (includes Museum admission) and $5 for Museum members.
