Recruitment Video · Kaiser PermanenteWhat is healthcare video production?
Healthcare video production is on-location filming and editing for hospitals, health systems, medical device and biotech companies: physician profiles, patient stories, device demonstrations, recruitment films and facility tours, made by a crew trained to work around clinical schedules, sterile fields and patient privacy rules rather than a general commercial crew improvising on the day.
Patients, providers and product teams can tell within seconds whether a video was filmed by someone who understands a clinical or lab environment. 7 Hills has produced healthcare and biotech video continuously since 2019, for Kaiser Permanente, Abbott and Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, plus three years of Desert Oasis Healthcare’s weekly podcast and documentary programming.

How we handle healthcare video production
Filming in this sector usually means a compliance review, real patients and a facility with rules about where a camera may point. We plan for all of it before the shoot day rather than discovering it on set.
Patient privacy handled your way
We sign your Business Associate Agreement when one is required, and film only under your own patient consent and authorization forms rather than substituting ours. Identifiable patient information is cleared from frame before a take, and raw footage access is limited to named crew and returned or deleted on request.
Filming around live care
Clinics and hospital floors do not stop for a camera. We work to a small crew footprint, schedule around clinic sessions and procedures, and supply crew names, equipment lists and certificates of insurance early enough to clear facilities review.
Compliance review, built in
We build review time into post-production so your legal and compliance team can verify every medical claim and graphic before final delivery.
Deliverables that fit your channels
Final assets are delivered graded, in 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 as standard, ready for your website, lobby screens and social channels.
How much does healthcare video production cost?

| Patient Testimonial | $3,500 to $15,000 | One patient's story, filmed and released under your own consent process |

- Crew footprintA two person interview team or a full unit with additional camera and grip package.
- FinishCustom graphics, licensed music, subtitles and color work all sit in the edit.
- DeliverablesEach finished video is priced on its own, so four edits cost more than one, and far less than four shoots.
- A 40% deposit begins production; the balance is due on delivery
- PO and AP-portal billing available for hospital systems and enterprise accounts
- First cut ready in 15 to 20 business days, with three rounds of revisions included
- Multiple providers or departments can be batched within a single 10-hour production day
What the healthcare video production process looks like
Four stages, one team, and a schedule built around clinical operations rather than ours.
- Strategy and complianceWe plan the shoot day around your clinical schedule, sign your Business Associate Agreement when one is needed, and confirm what consent and authorization forms will be in place before a camera rolls.
- Low-impact productionA small, quiet crew that works around live patient care. We clear identifiable patient information from frame before a take and keep the same low-footprint approach in a lobby or an active lab.
- The editWe craft the narrative and build review time into post-production so your legal or compliance team can verify every claim before final delivery.
- Final deliveryHigh-resolution assets for your website, lobby screens and social channels, graded and delivered in 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 as standard.
What healthcare clients say about working with us
Healthcare work is judged on more than the final cut. It is judged on whether the crew handled a live hospital floor or a busy physician's schedule without creating a problem.
7 Hills Productions went above and beyond in terms of quality, professionalism, responsiveness, and timeliness. They captured our vision perfectly.
Healthcare video production FAQs
Our doctors and surgeons are incredibly busy. How much time do you need with them?
We respect their time completely and specialize in the ‘20-minute power interview.’ We light and prep the set entirely before the provider arrives. Once they sit down, our directors guide them through a conversational interview, capturing everything we need in just 15 to 20 minutes so they can get back to their patients.
How do you handle HIPAA compliance and patient privacy on set?
Patient dignity and privacy are our top priorities. We sign your Business Associate Agreement when one is required, film only under your own patient consent and authorization forms, and clear identifiable patient information from frame before a take. Raw footage access is limited to named crew and returned or deleted on request.
Can you film in sterile environments like operating rooms or active labs?
Yes. Our crews use compact, low-footprint cinema gear that does not get in the way, and we adhere to your facility's infection control, gowning and sterilization procedures to capture footage without compromising patient safety or lab integrity.
Do you understand complex medical terminology?
Yes. We have years of experience producing and editing content for the healthcare and biotech sectors, and know how to take technical medical language and weave it into a narrative that patients and the public can understand.
Do you help with scriptwriting and legal or compliance reviews?
Yes. We collaborate with your marketing and clinical teams to shape the narrative, and build review time into post-production so your legal and compliance departments can verify every medical claim before final delivery.
Do you travel to hospital networks outside of California?
Yes. Our studio is headquartered in Irvine, CA, and we regularly serve hospital networks, biotech firms and medical device companies nationwide, bringing the same low-impact production footprint to your facility.
How much does a healthcare video production project typically cost?
Healthcare and biotech video production runs in eight published rate tiers, from Physician and Doctor Profile videos at $6,000 to $12,500, through Medical Device and Recruitment work in the $6,000 to $25,000 range, up to Enterprise, health-system-wide programs at $25,000 and up. See the full rate table above for what each tier covers.
What deliverable formats do we get?
Every project is delivered graded and exported in 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 as standard, so the same shoot day covers your website, lobby screens and social channels.
Can you film multiple providers or departments in a single day?
Yes, and it is the most efficient way to work with us. Pricing is based on a full-day rate, so a single filming day is structured around maximizing how many providers or departments we can capture.
How many revisions are included?
Three revision rounds are included on every project. Further rounds are quoted time and materials before the work begins.
What is the typical timeline from kickoff to final delivery?
A first cut is typically ready 15 to 20 business days after filming. Most healthcare projects land within our site-wide average of 28 days from kickoff to final delivery; rush timelines are available on request.
How do deposits and billing work?
Most projects begin with a 40% deposit, with the balance due on delivery. We also support PO and AP-portal billing for hospital systems and enterprise accounts. Try the budget estimator or see the full healthcare pricing breakdown for a fast, no-obligation range before you call.
