Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program receives HHS funding and has Federal PHS deemed status with respect to certain health or health-related claims, including medical malpractice claims, for itself and its covered individuals.
For people experiencing homelessness, the effort it takes each day to secure basic necessities—including food, clothing, shelter, hygiene, and a basic sense of safety—can take precedence over obtaining health care. Too often, this understandable prioritization leads preventable, treatable health problems to intensify, and even become fatal. BHCHP’s integrated care model and team of expert clinicians ensure that life-changing, lifesaving medical care is high-quality, effective, and available to patients whether they’re on the streets, in shelters, admitted to the hospital, or walking in to one of our specialized clinics.
