Stitching Strength is a documentary film that captures the fight against ALS - a terminal disease that strips away the body's control - through lens of creativity, courage, and connection.
Jake Benoit did not grow up planning to become a nurse. When he entered college, his plans had much more to do with baseball than healthcare.
But looking back, Benoit can see the threads that eventually pulled him toward nursing: an early appreciation for relationships, experience caring for older adults, and a growing realization that he wanted a career built around direct connection with people.
Free, open to the public.
Walk-in guests without a ticket will be seated on a first-come, first-serve basis.
