MLKCH supports our community members experiencing homelessness with essential services—from basic wound care and routine check-ups to referrals for specialized behavioral health treatment. We also help our patients navigate pathways to secure housing and other social support services.
In-Home Care
The MLKCH Home Paramedicine Program is a mobile healthcare service that delivers in-home care to recently discharged MLKCH patients across South LA.
