The Health Care for the Homeless Clinic focuses on primary care. This clinic only sees a person who is homeless (lives on the street; stays in shelter, mission, single room occupancy facilities, abandoned building or vehicle; lives in any other unstable or non-permanent situation; unable to maintain housing situation and forced to stay with friends and/or extended family members). People can access a range of services when they walk through our clinic doors or connect with our staff in the community.

MEDICAL CARE
Our doctors and nurse practitioners, nurses and medical assistants deliver primary medical care to adults, children, youth and families.

CONVALESCENT CARE
Just down the street from our headquarters clinic downtown is Baltimore’s largest public emergency shelter. Here, social workers and medical providers run the city’s only medical respite program for individuals experiencing homelessness, where people recuperate from acute illness or surgery after being discharged from the hospital.

DENTAL CARE
At our dental clinics downtown and in West Baltimore, the only dental operatories in Maryland exclusively for people experiencing homelessness, our dentists, dental hygienists and dental assistants provide preventive care to children and adults engaged in health care services at Health Care for the Homeless—and restorative care, including dentures and bridges, to adult clients.

PSYCHIATRIC CARE
Mental health care starts with one-on-one therapy with our therapists. If an individual is interested in psychiatric medication or a therapist believes psychiatric medication would be helpful in treating that individual’s symptoms, the therapist makes a referral to one of our psychiatrists for assessment and treatment.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND ADDICTIONS SERVICES
Through individual and group therapy, our therapists and addictions counselors work with clients to manage and improve symptoms, heal the traumas of homelessness, treat substance use disorders and provide ongoing support groups for those who have attained sobriety.
