Hollywood Health and Society Profile Photo

Hollywood, Health & Society (HH&S) is a program of the USC Annenberg Norman Lear Center that provides the entertainment industry with accurate and up-to-date information for storylines on health, safety, and security.

We offer several resources, including briefings and consultations with experts, panel discussions about timely health issues, writers mixers, education trips, a quarterly HH&S newsletter, and an expanding list of tip sheets written specifically for writers and producers.

We’ve worked with hundreds of shows including Bel Air, The Blacklist, Chicago Med, Grey’s Anatomy, Law and Order: SVU, Madam Secretary, New Amsterdam, Pretty Little Liars, The Resident, Scandal, Shameless, Station 19, Superman & Lois, This is Us… the list goes on and on.

Coming from an academic institution with decades of empirical research to back it up, we say this with confidence: stories matter.

We’re here to help honor that responsibility.
