Homeless populations have higher rates of illness and have shorter lifespans than the general US population.
People living on the streets or in crowded homeless shelters are more exposed to disease, malnutrition, violence, and harmful weather—and are without adequate resources to deal with them.
These communities need support. Common medical conditions doctors at GSSM care for include:
- Upper respiratory infections
- Skin infections
- Pneumonia
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Lacerations
- and many more
