The Opioid Fix
The word "epidemic" is often used when describing the impact of opioid use in the US. This 3-part documentary series explores education, prevention and solutions surrounding efforts to combat the devastating consequences of this crisis. Produced in partnership with Mayo Clinic.
I served as Associate Producer on Parts One and Two of The Opioid Fix, supporting story development, research, interviews, and production through final delivery.
For Part Three, I stepped into the role of Co-Producer, taking on greater responsibility for shaping the story and leading the episode through production.
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS + STATS:
The Opioid Fix: Part One won the 2020 Upper Midwest Regional Emmy Award for the category Health: Program/Special.
The series premiered at the MANOVA Summit, followed by a panel discussion with leaders from Mayo Clinic, Twin Cities PBS, and CBS News. Its impact continued beyond the initial premiere and broadcast through community screenings and educational events, including a Mayo Clinic Health System screening and panel attended by 375+ people.
