Street Medicine Program
Our mission in action
The Adventist Health Ukiah Valley Street Medicine team lives our
hospital’s mission every day. We take preventative and urgent care medicine to our most vulnerable
community members; our community’s homeless population. Our remarkable
multi-disciplinary team treats patients for medical issues such as diabetes,
infections and acute wound care, as well as performs general health checks
and provides health education.

Benefits

Outcomes
This program has taken on a life of its own over the past couple of years. Our homeless community members have begun to place trust in our providers and share their lives. We have seen incredible success stories as patients find stable homes and restore their physical and mental health. Former patients have even turned into our advocates. Our team brings hope to what many perceive as a bleak situation. We are so proud of the Adventist Health Ukiah Valley Street Medicine program.
