Mission Statement:
We strive to improve the health and well being of the homeless while raising
the awareness of medical students and undergraduates to the unique needs of
this traditionally ignored population. Using the tools of screening, education
and advocacy, we endeavor to detect and prevent disease, to teach basic
life skills, and to promote utilization of community services. Our goal for
each patient is to catalyze their transition from control to personal health
to self reliance and ultimately to understand their ability to contribute to
society and to their well being. Our goal for each student is to incite
appreciation for the diversity of health care needs and foster the commitment
to improve medicine for all.
