Street Medicine Reaches Unhoused Angelenos, But Housing Gap Persists

Original: Street Medicine Brings Care to Unhoused Angelenos — But Housing Remains the Missing Prescription

Street medicine teams in Los Angeles are bringing medical care directly to people living without housing, offering treatment where they are rather than waiting for them to reach clinics. Providers and advocates say the care is vital but cannot substitute for the deeper need: permanent housing, which they call the real missing prescription for improving homeless Angelenos' health.

Why now: Los Angeles' ongoing homelessness crisis keeps attention on outreach programs and the debate over care versus housing solutions.
