Summary
"Even when people [experiencing homelessness] do come into the traditional healthcare system, they're treated terribly... I have heard [firsthand] that they were treated more poorly in the healthcare system than they were on the streets."
As the CEO of Healthcare In Action, Dr. Indu Subaiya works with people experiencing homelessness on a regular basis. She is here to share what their real challenges are and to bust the common myths floating around about this crisis.
We chat about the role healthcare plays in homelessness, the positive impact of “street medicine,” and why we need all types of social services and people to come together to help solve this problem.
Hit play for this compassionate and educational chat with Dr. Indu about homelessness and the innovative healthcare solutions that are making a difference today. Thanks for being here, friend!
