The theme for this year's event is "Health Care for the Homeless: The Bridge Between Health and Housing." Speakers/discussion will focus on the mutually supportive relationship between health services and housing stability. Often, this relationship is framed as one of unequal standing. Our shared experience as providers of homeless health care has revealed, however, that both are equally important. Appreciating housing and health services as similarly high priorities creates a more expansive and accessible multiple-entry-point system for patients.
