The Street Medicine Department at MLKCH boasts a primary care team dedicated to providing consistent, quality healthcare directly to unhoused patients, wherever they may be. 

By sending  an interdisciplinary group of clinical care experts, social workers and outreach experts onto the streets for regular checks on formerly hospitalized MLKCH patients, they aim to break the cycle of severe illness and hospitalization caused by lack of access to primary and specialty care. 

Come along as we follow two MLKCH outreach coordinators, essential members of our Street Medicine team, and uncover their powerful journeys that shaped them into the leaders they are today.
