Outreach staff and volunteers engage and connect homeless individuals and families to mainstream and community services in order to establish them in a regular medical home, improve their health, and increase their use of existing community-based medical providers instead of expensive emergency medical services.
First Fruit’s Outreach Center has a medical clinic staffed by a MedNorth family nurse practitioner and registrar
MEDICAL SERVICES
Through this partnership with MedNorth, First Fruit Ministries
provides a whole host of primary care services to itinerant and
vulnerable patients, including:
• Wound care
• Diabetic care
• Prescription medication assistance
• HIV/Hepatitis C testing
• Hypertension monitoring
The clinic is available for walk-in care on Thursdays from 11am-5pm.
MedNorth behavioral health staff are also available for mental health screenings and assessment by appointment at the ministry campus. They help our homeless friends with mental health needs connect to services while in a familiar and safe setting.
