Dispatches from a Field Hospital is a Canadian documentary television film, directed by Matt Gallagher and released in 2021.[1] The film centres on the launch of a field hospital on the grounds of St. Clair College in Windsor during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, and the extraordinary steps that people would undertake to remain in contact with their loved ones in the facility despite lockdown restrictions.[1]

The film premiered March 16, 2021 on TVOntario.[1] It also later received an outdoor theatrical screening at Windsor's Riverfront Festival Plaza in August, as part of the Windsor International Film Festival's Under the Stars screening series.[2]

The film was a Canadian Screen Award nominee for the Donald Brittain Award for best social or political documentary at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards in 2022.[3]
