Street Medics

Street medics are trained volunteers who provide free medical care and support to people experiencing homelessness, those in marginalized communities, or during protests and events. They offer first aid, basic health services, and harm reduction supplies like clean needles or protective gear. Operating often outside traditional healthcare settings, street medics aim to improve health outcomes, connect individuals to medical resources, and address urgent needs promptly and compassionately. Their work helps reduce health disparities and offers a vital, accessible form of community-based healthcare.
