HEALTHCARE FOR THE
HOMELESS
HealthCare
for the Homeless provides a suite of health care services
that is affordable, accessible and acceptable to homeless men, women
and children. A multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurse practitioners,
nurses, and social workers provides primary care to this population
in the shelters, soup kitchens, drop-in centers and streets of Cambridge
and Somerville.
The program
operates and staffs three outreach clinics in Cambridge at the Cambridge
Salvation Army, the CASPAR Emergency Service center and the Harvard
Square Homeless Shelter. The CASPAR clinic is for individuals suffering
from the disease of addiction. In addition, the staff provides family
shelters in Cambridge with health care management services.
The staff also
conducts inpatient rounds at the Cambridge Hospital campus for homeless
patients and assists inpatient medical teams with discharge planning
and treatment plans for homeless patients.
