We Appreciate your Consideration!

By donating to Street Medicine at Ohio State, you're improving the health of the unhoused population of Columbus while simultaneously fostering the growth of the next generation of healthcare workers. People experiencing homelessness make up an underserved community that faces complex obstacles when accessing medical care, and tearing down these barriers is very important to us; we're very fortunate for your contribution to this objective. Regarding our future plans, we're aiming to expand our clinics, collaborate with the community and partners on a comprehensive needs assessment, and potentially launch a 4th-year medical student elective rotation. This work is only possible with the hard work from our team and the generosity of our donors –– thank you for joining us in this vital mission to make healthcare accessible for all!
