Hopelessly Human Productions Inc. is tilting the direction of healthcare to heal it from the inside out.
 Authors Linda Bridge and Kathy Knowles believe simple strategies can - and will - shift the healthcare system to a healthier state.
Linda and Kathy, nurses with a combined 50 years of experience, found unhealthy self and system inadequacies had deeply affected them. They focused their attention on using simple strategies to heighten their self respect and as they changed so did those around them.
If this worked for them, why not a whole system?
 Linda graduated in 1979 from the Misericordia School of Nursing, Edmonton, Alberta. She was the recipient of 'The Pat Moisey Bedside Nursing Award' for excellence in performance of duties and an overriding concern and respect for the patient as a unique human being. Linda has practiced in a variety of hospital settings, including 18 years in a city emergency department. She is presently in a supervisory position at the Lethbridge Regional Hospital. She was on her local union executive for the last 12 years, and frequently spoke on behalf of the union to university and college nursing students, as well as the news media.
Kathy graduated in 1979 from the Grace General Hospital School of Nursing, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Her career has spanned three provinces and several areas within healthcare.
