In recent years, NYC Health + Hospitals has expanded access to care for unhoused patients and helped many find permanent homes. Since April 2021, our fleet of mobile vans has made more than 200,000 engagements, providing both street outreach and medical care to people living unsheltered, and our medical respite program has supported over 1,100 patients who needed a temporary place to stay. Beyond that, our Housing for Health initiative has connected over 600 patients to permanent housing. In this episode of The Remedy from NYC Health + Hospitals, host Dr. Michael Shen is joined by Dr. Amanda Johnson, Assistant Vice President of Ambulatory Care & Population Health, and Leora Jontef, Assistant Vice President of Housing and Real Estate at NYC Health + Hospitals. Together, they delve into New York City's housing crisis, explain how safety net clinics and mobile vans are providing care to patients experiencing homelessness and why NYC’s public health system now has a path connecting many to their own homes. So press play and listen to another episode of The Remedy from NYC Health + Hospitals.
