Bridging the Gap for Unhoused People: Medical Respite Care Programs

Making the Rounds

Medical respite programs care for unhoused people who are not sick enough for inpatient care but are too sick to return to a shelter or the streets. Hear from our experts David Munson, MD, David Woody, PhD, Barbara DiPietro, PhD, about how these lifesaving programs improve health while protecting our healthcare system and how medical students can make an impact. This episode was moderated by Shad Yasin, medical student at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and member of the Committee on Legislation and Advocacy.✶✶✶✶ 📺 Follow the @americanmedicalassociation on YouTube: https://bit.ly/AMA_YouTubeChannel 🎥 Watch #AMAUpdate for the latest in health care news for physicians: https://bit.ly/AMA_Update 📝 Full transcripts of the show are available here: https://bit.ly/AMA_Update_Transcripts 📧 Subscribe to AMA Morning Rounds newsletter, with the news you need every morning delivered to your inbox: https://bit.ly/AMA-MorningRounds 🎧 Listen to our latest podcast episodes now: https://bit.ly/AMA_Podcasts 📲 Download AMA Connect for news, podcasts, video updates and learning in one place: https://apple.co/3URzNES 💬 Connect with the AMA on social media: https://bit.ly/AMA_Social_Media
