Health Clinic Heroes Short Film
Produced by Coalition of Community Health Clinics,
in partnership with Outside the Frame
This short documentary film features public health leaders and front line staff from the community clinics who worked throughout COVID-19 to continue serving our region’s most vulnerable Medicaid and uninsured patients.
To honor our health clinic heroes, CCHC partnered with Outside the Frame, an acclaimed local filmmaking nonprofit that trains homeless and marginalized youth to be the directors of their own films and lives.
Thanks to our sponsors for making this film project possible.
