Unhoused Health

The purpose of Unhoused Health is to create a centralized and official student group interested in unhoused public service and street medicine. Currently, there are few opportunities for students to be involved in unhoused outreach or volunteering, and this student group would serve as a centralized core of students that will create opportunities to learn about the unique challenges unhoused people face, both generally and specifically in terms of seeking medical care. This club will allow students to engage with unhoused people and learn what it is like to live unhoused in St. Louis. This club will expand the diversity of educational experiences, especially those related to health equity and structural barriers.
