There is an epidemic of homelessness in San Diego County and with homelessness comes severely limited access to care. At UCSD School of Medicine, we are uniquely positioned to be able to address the unmet health needs of this population. By partnering with the non-profit, Think Dignity, we can quickly gain access to this high-risk community and deliver monthly health fairs at established non-profit events. At these health fairs, we can both offer preventative health services, as well as connect homeless persons to local resources and community clinics. This program has the potential to greatly improve the lives of our unsheltered neighbors, while also instilling in medical students an improved understanding of the challenges of homelessness
