As COVID-19 overwhelmed ICUs across the country in 2020, a critical question emerged for hospital systems everywhere: where do patients go when they are no longer sick enough to need intensive care, but not yet well enough to go home?

The answer, for many patients, was a Long Term Acute Care Hospital — an LTACH. And Kindred Healthcare's Chicago facilities were among the most well-equipped in the country to provide that care.

John Flower Productions produced this piece to explain the LTACH model to a broader audience and to show, through the stories of real patients and caregivers, exactly what was happening inside Kindred's facilities at one of the most critical moments in modern American healthcare history.

The production challenge was significant: making a complex healthcare policy and clinical concept accessible, human, and genuinely compelling to a general audience. JFP approached it the same way we approach all healthcare storytelling — by letting the people at the center of the story do the talking. The result combines clear, informative messaging with the kind of human moments that make an abstract healthcare concept real and meaningful.
