2 weeks agoHow a Miami health care group is meeting homeless patients where they live
Miami Street Medicine is a nonprofit organization providing free mobile health care services to homeless people. It's part of a larger group, Dade County Street Response, which also includes a free clinic called Doctors Within Borders, a disaster relief team and a mental health crisis line. Miami Street Medicine teams of paid staff and medical school student volunteers aren't just bandaging cuts and handing out aspirin. They're performing intake on patients with tablet computers and offer follow-up visits for chronic conditions.
