During the Oscar Academy Awards, Dr. Presant gave the annual best health-themed movie HOME Award to The Big Sick for its portrayal of the importance of the health team (family, friends, doctors, nurses). This award was given on the red carpet as shown in the following video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB0Wvv4KAwI

Each year, I give out an award for the best health oriented motion picture of the year (the HOME award) to a single film that illustrates an important message for patients and their families.

What was the best health themed movie of 2016? Casey Affleck and Kieth Lonergan win the HOME award for the best movie of 2016 with health themes.

So check out my list and guess which one I will name in a few weeks as the best picture. And see…
