George’s Home Hospital

Mass General Brigham, one of the nation’s leading hospital systems, is reimagining the future of hospital care by bringing it into the comfort of people’s homes. But the concept of “home hospital” is so radical and new that many patients who could benefit from it either don’t know it’s an option or can’t picture what it might look and feel like for them.

To both explain and humanize this new model of care, Mass General Brigham turned to Slipstream to tell the story of George, a patient who has lived 80 of his 83 years in the same home. We shot the film largely in vérité to immerse the viewer in George’s world, allowing another patient or family member to picture themselves or their loved ones receiving world-class hospital care in the place they call home.
