First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden’s Joining Forces initiative and The Night Shift, NBC’s hit medical drama from Sony Pictures Television, have come together in an effort to highlight and amplify veteran’s health initiatives, spotlighting veterans’ strength and resilience and the many resources that are available to vets and their families through local Vet Centers from Harlem to Hollywood.
The culmination of this collaboration will air on Monday, May 4 (10 p.m. ET/PT) when NBC presents a very special episode of The Night Shift that will illustrate the healing, resilience and sense of purpose that veterans, such as San Antonio Memorial’s own TC Callahan (played by Eoin Macken), have found when they get the support they need. The First Lady and Dr. Biden will also appear in the episode. In conjunction with the episode, a public service announcement furthering the conversation around veterans’ mental health featuring the First Lady, Dr. Biden and stars of The Night Shift — Eoin Macken, Jill Flint and Robert Bailey Jr.
