Flipping the Script: A Teach-In for Healthcare Workers on Homelessness and Medical Respite Care

Individuals experiencing homelessness often have complex medical and behavioral health needs. For those who end up hospitalized, their lack of stable housing can be a barrier to safe discharge. When these patients no longer require inpatient-level care, they need a safe place to recuperate. Medical respite is a coordinated system of care that provides patients experiencing homelessness with a safe place to recover coupled with short-term supports. At this teach-in event, a panel of current and former medical respite clients will teach healthcare professionals, trainees, and other interested audience members about their experiences in medical respite programs. Attendees will gain a better understanding of how the medical respite care model can improve health outcomes and facilitate transitions into stable housing among patients experiencing homelessness.
