The Pitt (among other shows) will be honored with Hollywood, Health & Society’s renamed Norman Lear Awards for TV That Makes a Difference.

Among the nominated, HBO Max’s The Pitt received the special Culture of Health Award for its entire Season 1 body of work. Following frontline healthcare workers’ full day shift at an under-resourced trauma hospital’s emergency department, the drama offers an unflinching look at America’s embattled medical system. Executive produced by creator R. Scott Gemmill, actor Noah Wyle and John Wells, the Emmy-nominated series delves into salient themes with accuracy and poignancy, including mental health, abortion access, organ donation, trust in medicine, gun violence, social services and end of life care.
