Project Description

The Charles Drew Homeless Clinic (CDHC) is a satellite clinic of Charles Drew Health Center. The clinic operates out of two sites, Siena-Francis Homeless Shelter, the only daytime shelter in Omaha, and Catholic Charities Campus for Hope Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center.

Services

Primary health care services are delivered on-site by a physician assistant under the direction of an internal medicine physician. Medical services that are not available at the homeless clinics are provided at the Charles Drew Health Center's main facility, and referrals are made to providers in the community.

Linkages

Through coordination and collaboration with other community providers, CDHC is able to enhance the level of services available to individuals who are homeless. Linkages include Community Alliance for mental health services, Catholic Charities for substance abuse services, Douglas County Primary Health Care, Omaha Continuum of Care, and Project Hope Medical Outreach.

Statistics

Estimated homeless population: 3,500 Patients served: 2,813
