Health Ambassadors
Managing illness and ailments without an ID, a permanent address, insurance, or the support of people who care, can be overwhelming and lead to despair.
In partnership with St. Joseph’s Medical Center, our Healthcare Ambassador Program provides trained staff members who offer a warm hand-off in the Emergency Department and assist with hospital discharges.
Health Ambassadors also help individuals apply for and manage insurance, provide transportation to follow-up appointments, make connections to Community Based Organizations and link them to treatment programs. While improving health is a primary goal of the program, the ultimate goal is to help the homeless move into housing.
