We are developing a curriculum module to illuminate the remarkable ways in which hospital housekeepers care for their patients, and to bring this important work to the attention of healthcare professionals. The curriculum centers around a 20 minute documentary video. In the video, eight housekeepers at Duke Hospital and Duke Regional Hospital talk about their special human relationships with patients and the ways in which they believe their work contributes to healing. Upon completion of the film, its impact on an interdisciplinary student audience will be assessed.
