Street Medicine

Street Medicine is a healthcare approach that provides medical care directly to people experiencing homelessness, where they live—in shelters, encampments, or on the streets. It involves healthcare professionals visiting these individuals to address their medical needs, often overcoming barriers like transportation or mistrust that prevent access to traditional clinics. The goal is to improve health outcomes, build trust, and connect individuals with ongoing care and social services. By bringing care to where vulnerable populations are, Street Medicine aims to reduce health disparities and promote dignity and well-being for those often underserved.
