THE ANTIDOTE – Nurse-Family Partnership
Nurse-Family Partnership nurse Maria Cody is featured in a short documentary film that amplifies the power of kindness and love.
In the 12-minute film, THE ANTIDOTE – Nurse-Family Partnership, nurse Maria shows us to change a community, a family and a child’s future, you have to start with the mother. She instills kindness and love in the mothers she visits, who, in turn, share kindness and love with their children.
Maria knows what it is like to be a young mom. The one person who helped her through her delivery was a nurse. She says that nurse saved her. Maria became a nurse so she could help other moms and change lives.
Maria is a Nurse-Family Partnership nurse supervisor at MetroHealth in Cleveland, Ohio, and is one of over 2,300 Nurse-Family Partnership nurses serving first-time moms and their babies across the country.
Directed by Academy Award-nominee, Kahane Cooperman, and six-time Emmy winner, John Hoffman, THE ANTIDOTE aims to drive a national conversation about the roles that kindness, decency, compassion and respect play in a civilized, democratic society.
THE ANTIDOTE includes a full-length film (available on Amazon Prime Video) and several short films (including the short film on nurse Maria – available online).
Just like THE ANTIDOTE tells stories of compassionate people building community, Nurse-Family Partnership nurses are intentionally making choices to lift others up and strengthen our communities.
