Think “homeless in Baltimore.” Think “healthcare”. Right away, your brain may paint a picture of the nonprofit Health Care for the Homeless, reaching out to people on the street, without housing, connecting them to healthcare.
Except that until this spring, Health Care for the Homeless wasn’t actually delivering medical care on the street. It has always reached out to unhoused people, it operates satellite clinics and mobile clinics where people can get care -- and it offers lots of other kindness of support to get people into homes of their own. But street medicine -- that’s new. It started in April.
We talk with Dr. Jimmy Miller, Director of Outreach Services, to learn how it works.
