Membership

2011-2012 Membership Directory

The National Council provides the HCH Clinicians’ Network Directory solely as a service to Network members to facilitate networking by state, clinical discipline or topics of clinical interest. The Network membership represents the various clinical disciplines working in homeless health care including nurses, social workers, physicians, outreach workers, advanced practice nurses, case managers, oral health providers, and more. This online directory is not a complete listing of members or member contact information; members may elect not to be included. The directory is a compilation work and owned solely by the Council; use of the Network membership directory for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited.

Who Is Eligible For Membership?

Membership is now open at no cost to front-line providers or anyone giving hands-on care to homeless people, including but not limited to: nurses, social workers, substance abuse counselors, mental health therapists, dentists, outreach workers, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, case managers, health educators, pharmacists, psychologists, and physicians as well as students in these professions. Membership will not expire except upon your request or if the Council is unable to contact a member after multiple attempts via email and telephone. The National Council will periodically request updated membership information. Please respond to these requests and let us know if your contact information changes. Organizational Members of the National Health Care for the Homeless Council are encouraged to share information about the HCH Clinicians’ Network membership to organizational staff. We request that staff complete the join applications themselves so the National Council can capture personal preferences regarding clinical interests and e-newsletter subscriptions.
