COVID-19STREET MEDICINE PRACTICE during the COVID19 PANDEMIC (March 20, 2020)"We are erring on the side of communicating quickly, rather than perfectly. Please check back for updates and corrections as our knowledge of best practices evolves." - The Street Medicine Institute Board of Directors Go To the PeopleDuring the COVID19 pandemic, the Street Medicine Institute’s vision that communities throughout the world are transformed through the delivery of Street Medicine practices designed to meet the unique needs of rough-sleeping persons seems more relevant than ever. In times of uncertainty, society often overlooks the marginalized in our communities, but street medicine teams around the world are continuing to go to the people and care for rough sleepers where they are.
