Health Care Survey Released Thursday

How Do Homeless People Access the Healthcare System?

NEOCH surveyed 320 homeless people over the last month to solicit input on their experiences with health care. We will release the report on Thursday night December 11 at 6 pm. at Trinity Cathedral. We will have demographic information along with information on the number who became homeless because of chronic health conditions. The report goes into some depth about the last time homeless people in the community used the clinics vs. the hospitals; the last time they had dental care; or the time spent waiting for health care. More than half of the homeless surveyed used Care Alliance or the Free Clinic, and we will have a representative from Care Alliance on hand to receive the report.

Join us at Trinity Cathedral on East 22nd and Euclid in Conference Room A and B to receive a report on the state of health care for homeless people in Cleveland at 6 p.m. We will have a few speakers who have had issues with the current health care delivery system as well as a few leaders in the community. All are invited. If you have questions please call Josh at 216/432-0540.
