Street Medicine Reaches Unhoused Angelenos, Housing Gap Persists

Original: Street Medicine Brings Care to Unhoused Angelenos — But Housing Remains the Missing Prescription

Street medicine teams in Los Angeles are delivering medical care directly to people living unshoused on the city's streets, bringing treatment to those who rarely enter clinics. Providers say the programme saves lives but cannot solve the underlying problem: without stable housing, patients' health conditions keep worsening, making housing the missing prescription in the city's response to homelessness.

Why now: Los Angeles' homelessness crisis remains a pressing local issue and the story highlights the limits of medical outreach without housing solutions.
