2 months ago
We seek adventurous, compassionate people to join our team in providing street medicine and primary care to the underserved. Street medicine is defined as a set of health and social services delivered directly to individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness on their own terms and in their own lived environment. It is a harm reduction tool meant to build relationships and deliver medically necessary services in order for individuals to stay healthier an be able to avoid unnecessary Emergency Department visits and hospitalizations.
Our street medicines teams deliver care in the field and help remove as many barriers as possible between our clients and the care they need. It is a fantastic way to give back and make a difference, by helping those who need it most.
Our clinics and street medicine teams never turn anyone away, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. We are passionate about helping our community and are looking for others who share this mentality and are committed to this goal. Our clinics are based in San Diego, but our street medicine teams provide care to individuals experiencing homelessness in areas of greatest need. The Imperial County team works delivering care in El Centro, Brawley, Calexico, and Niland/ Slab City.

A Physician or NP will be available for tele-medicine backup if a patient needs a prescription or referral to an office-based provider. The Physician or NP will also work on site with the team helping see patients in person 2 days per month. The work is unique and extremely rewarding, and it is a real chance to make a difference in our community and individuals experiencing challenging circumstances.
