The Harmony Health Street Medicine team spends their days visiting encampments and connecting with vulnerable people, meeting them where they are and offering care outside of a clinic and without barriers.
The street medicine team has a different approach to medical and mental health care. Instead of the clinic, the team's goal is to meet people wherever they are.
They bring the care and connections to doctors right to the people who need it most, building relationships and trust along the way, even helping some people get into housing.
After the team stopped by an encampment friday, one man was able to get his wound taken care of and put on antibiotics. Another man, who only wanted to be identified as Chief, says the homeless community relies on the street medicine team.
Being mobile, the team can transport people to and from appointments and deliver medicine when they needed. The team says they're also able to provide mental health care on the spot, something new and the only thing like it in the region.
The program is mostly funded through grants.
"They trust us. We've built the relationship, and if we say, 'Hey, this is who you should see as a provider,' then they're more apt to do it," Caracciola said.
