For Healthcare & Wellness

The stories patients tell matter more than the stats you report

Professional video, photo, and podcast production for hospitals, health systems, community health centers, and wellness organizations.

Work we’ve done in healthcare

From feature-length documentaries to community health campaigns — healthcare storytelling is where RiseWorks started.

Documentary Film

SHIFT Nursing — Everybody's Work

A feature documentary exploring the nursing workforce crisis, directed by RiseWorks co-founder Chad Tingle for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The film that started it all.

Health Campaign

305 Pink Pack — Cancer Screening

Community health content for 305 Pink Pack — from 353 views in 3 years to 1,000+ views in 4 days with a single RiseWorks production session.

How it works

Healthcare organizations use Creative Blocks to produce patient stories, provider spotlights, and community health content across departments and facilities. From a single hospital to a multi-site health system, blocks can be allocated where they’re needed most — marketing, community health, HR recruitment, or foundation fundraising. RiseWorks handles production end-to-end with HIPAA-aware workflows, so your communications team focuses on strategy while we capture the stories that build trust.

Creative Blocks

Creative Blocks for healthcare

A Creative Block is RiseWorks’ unit of production — a defined scope of professional storytelling work. Healthcare organizations purchase a custom pool of blocks and allocate them across departments, facilities, and campaigns. Need a patient story for the foundation this month and a recruitment video for HR the next? Blocks flex to meet you where the need is greatest — no more juggling vendors or one-off project scopes.

How block allocation works

01

Scope

We work with your leadership team to understand priorities across departments and facilities. How many blocks do you need per quarter? Which departments or campaigns get priority?

02

Allocate

Blocks are assigned across your organization’s needs — marketing gets a spotlight, HR gets a recruitment video, the foundation gets a donor impact story. Reallocate mid-cycle as priorities shift.

03

Produce & Distribute

RiseWorks handles production end-to-end with HIPAA-aware workflows. Every block yields multiple deliverables across formats and platforms.

The Content Flywheel

Every block produces more than one asset. A single shoot yields 5+ pieces of content across formats and platforms:

A primary video or photo set
Social clips for Reels, Shorts, LinkedIn
Professional stills from the session
Audio clips for podcasts or audiograms
Quote cards, thumbnails, and show notes

Target asset reuse ratio: ≥4.0× — one shoot, four or more distribution channels. One session, months of content. That’s the Content Flywheel — every block compounds your content library.

StoryStack
