Did you know we recently expanded our After Stroke program to support stroke survivors in Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador? We understand that navigating life after a stroke can be challenging, not only impacting the individual, but also their caregivers and loved ones. This is where After Stroke can help, because no one should face stroke alone. Learn more about the program at: https://lnkd.in/g-wcSXAv

In 2019, Judy suffered a devastating stroke and was rushed to Cooper University Hospital from her local hospital via helicopter. Cooper's expert stroke team, with Dr. Tudor Jovin at the helm, saved her life. And even more remarkably, made it possible for her to tell her story in her own words. May is National Stroke Awareness Month. Know the signs. Learn more about types of stroke, signs of stroke, and stroke care at Cooper by visiting cooperhealth.org/stroke.

To be in the right place in the right time

Earlier this summer, Dartmouth Health's in-house video team took on a project: capturing a unique patient-provider experience to promote Dartmouth Health's heart and vascular program. Our approach was a bit different: We chose to combine Super 8mm film with Canon’s C200 and C70 cameras and DZO lenses. There's a distinct charm to film, with its generous light exposure latitude, and a throwback to a time when instant playback wasn’t an option. Trusting instincts, equipment, and lighting became paramount. The anticipation of waiting for the 6k dailies was nerve-wracking given the expense of film stock and processing, but the results? Simply a joy. We integrated as much film footage as possible, occasionally emulating the Super 8 look digitally, but nothing compares to the genuine artifact. This project had several facets: it was an assignment, a venture into a bygone medium, and a learning experience. The challenges we faced, the decisions we made, and the story we brought forward gave us a lot to reflect upon. Our team's familiarity with the subject and the creative process underscored the importance of telling stories genuinely. To other organizations: Every story has its merits. It's worth exploring how best to tell them.
