ABOUT REMAKING AMERICAN MEDICINE

About Remaking American Medicine is a four-part primetime television series intended for broadcast on PBS in early 2006. The series is being produced by the award-winning media company, Crosskeys Media. KQED in San Francisco is the presenting PBS station.

The series tells the stories of individuals and institutions struggling to address the significant problems that now plague our health care system. The PBS series focuses on the breathtaking advances being made in improving the quality of patient care and will feature compelling profiles of providers and patients who are working together to change fundamentally the way health care is delivered in this country. The goal of Remaking American Medicine is to inspire and empower viewers, by demonstrating what transforming the quality of patient care can mean to all Americans.

The series and accompanying national outreach campaign are made possible thanks to the following funders and supporters:

The Amgen Foundation, lead corporate sponsor

Outreach Campaign


A national public outreach campaign is underway to help spread the word about the pioneering work being accomplished in improving health care, and to generate the widest possible audience for the public television series. As of February 2005, 30 national organizations have signed on as National Partners, including health care providers, purchasers, consumers and patient advocates, health care experts and government and regulatory groups. These organizations are alerting their members and encouraging them to participate in community-based activities designed to draw public attention to improving the quality of health care. In many regions of the country, such efforts are being led by the nation's Quality Improvement Organizations (QIOs) that are forming coalitions comprised of other groups that are equally committed to improving health care. Collectively, National Partners can reach more than 100 million Americans with information about improving health care quality.
