First up, NoHLA’s Health Care at the Movies features The Providers, an award-winning documentary, followed by a panel discussion with local leaders that explores the challenges low-income and rural families face while trying to access health care.

Set against the backdrop of the physician shortage and opioid epidemic in rural America, The Providers follows healthcare providers who work safety-net clinics that offer care to all who walk through the doors, regardless of ability to pay. With intimate access, the documentary shows the transformative power of providers’ relationships with marginalized patients who would otherwise be left out of the healthcare system. After the short film, a panel discusion will be hosted, featuring:
- Janet Varon, Executive Director, NoHLA
- Aaron Katz, Principal Lecturer, UW Department of Health Services
- Laura Green & Anna Moot-Levin, Directors and Producers, The Providers (via Skype)
The event is sponsored by the Social Justice Film Institute and the Latino Center for Health at the UW School of Public Health.
