Street Medicine is run by a small team of healthcare workers and provides medical services for the homeless population in Dauphin and Cumberland Counties.
DAUPHIN COUNTY, Pa. — For the unhoused population, receiving medical care can be incredibly difficult and time-consuming. That's a barrier Street Medicine aims to break.
The organization provides blood work, prescribes and delivers medication and EKGs, provides wound treatment, conducts lab work and connects those in need to specific healthcare resources. "A lot of our patients, the situation that they're in are not something that has been their choice and it's not what they wanted. So that doesn't mean they don't deserve help," said Delong. "We do some short-term treatment, but we can't be the long term, so that's a struggle," Sellers explained.
