The Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital Foundation in Grass Valley collaborated with St. Joseph's Foundation of San Joaquin, the Mercy Medical Center Merced Foundation, and the Dominican Hospital Foundation in Santa Cruz to secure a $3 million grant to implement street medicine training into residency programs.
The grant funding will be used to develop a program to meet people where they are, whether they're unhoused, skeptical of the health care system or don't know how to navigate it.
Sandra Barrington, executive director of the Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital Foundation, said the idea was to look at different types of populations.
Barrington said it's important to build trust with someone in need of care, especially the more vulnerable populations on the street.
The initiative aims to add a new rotation to the residency program where future doctors can opt in to learn how to better assist vulnerable populations out in the field.
Bauer said it's a five-year project, and they hope to get people in the rotations by the end of next year.
"We're really hoping to bring more resources and then actually have more trained doctors who are then able to provide the services that might not be able to be done by a county public health nurse," Bauer said.
