Did you know that behind every homeless patient you see in the ED/Clinic there are many more who need healthcare that you won’t see? For this episode we are joined by friend of the show Dr Chad Holmes, an EM physician, and the Street Medicine Program Director at JPS in Dallas, Texas, as well as he current fellow Dr Hunter Scarborough. They take us through some of the specifics of what they do, how we can ALL approach the homeless patient differently during this great conversation.
