Outreach

Fundamental to the HCH model of care, outreach is an umbrella term for serving people outside of the four walls of the clinic, which may include providing medical services on the streets (“street medicine”), using a mobile medical van, or deploying outreach specialists to build relationships with those who cannot or will not access services in the physical clinic.

Medical outreach, in particular, continues to grow across the country with health centers increasing these services and other independent organizations emerging regularly. Learn more below about strategies for reaching people outside the clinic.
