Hill Health
Street Medicine ensures health equity through access to quality medical care for Greater New Haven’s unreached houseless population. Through direct and regular medical outreach, our Doctors, APRNs, and Physician Assistants provide direct medical care in the streets, shelters, encampments, soup kitchens, and drop-in centers. The Street medicine team bridges the gaps and barriers the houseless experience in receiving medical care through traditional means. The team’s success is driven by care over a continuum that starts by building relationships and offering companionship and respect. In doing so, we meet the patient where they are to address their unique psychosocial and health care needs. Foot care, wound care, medication prescriptions or refills, blood and imaging tests as needed, urgent care, referral to specialists including mental health professionals and addiction medicine, std testing and treatment, HIV prevention treatment (PrEP), Hepatitis C treatment, provide primary care until patient established with primary care for 18 and over.
