WHAT IS STREET MEDICINE OAKLAND?
WHO WE ARE
Street Medicine Oakland is a collaborative effort between Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine students, Beaumont Health, and the Gary Burnstein Community Health Clinic that bridges the gap between the homeless members of our Pontiac community and healthcare providers. We work to better understand our patients' realities so that we may provide quality medical care and resources, while equipping future physicians and leaders in healthcare with perspective and experience in caring for the homeless population.
WHAT WE DO
PONTIAC STREET OUTREACH
Every other Saturday, a team of OUWB medical school students and a Beaumont physician meet individuals directly on the streets of Pontiac to provide lunch, supplies, immediate medical care, and more.
HOPE SHELTER OUTREACH
Every other Friday, a team of OUWB medical students and a Beaumont physician meet guests staying at HOPE Adult Shelter to provide medical care, health counseling, and more.
ROYAL OAK OUTREACH
COMING SOON!
We are currently working on expansion plans to provide low-barrier medical care in Royal Oak, Michigan.
