In conjunction with the celebration of national World Happy Day on Saturday (Feb. 11), the Tulane School of Medicine is hosting the New Orleans screening of the movie Happy — a documentary by Roko Belic that explores what brings people joy.

The screening is hosted by Dr. Frank Rosinia, chair of anesthesiology at the Tulane University School of Medicine and chief quality officer at Tulane Medical Center.  

The event is open to the public, and Rosinia especially encourages hospital administrators, faculty, staff and students to attend.

“A person’s level of happiness can affect everything around them including their ability to experience joy in the workplace,” says Rosinia. “When it comes to hospital staff, joy at work can also be important to patient safety.”

The showing begins at 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 11 in the Kendall Cram Lecture Hall of the Lavin-Bernick Center. The film runs one hour and 15 minutes.

Additional information about the documentary may be found at the film’s website.
