Urban Street Medicine

Urban Street Medicine is a healthcare approach that provides medical services directly to homeless and underserved populations in city environments. Healthcare professionals, such as doctors and nurses, go into the community—parks, shelters, and streets—to offer medical care, mental health support, and resources. This model reduces barriers like transportation and stigma, ensuring vulnerable individuals receive essential treatment and preventive care. By meeting people where they are, Urban Street Medicine aims to improve health outcomes, promote stability, and address broader social needs affecting their well-being.
