in this unprecedented time, two things have never been more important:

1. Helping vulnerable populations find safe housing.
2. Using our limited medical capacity efficiently.

your organization is passionate about improving the health of our communities.

Especially those who are most vulnerable

housing instability and other unmet social needs degrade the health of many of your members.

At times, involving exposure to outbreaks, to addictive substances, to abusive relationships, or a lack of sleep, food, transportation, or emotional wellbeing.

collectively, these factors lead to chronic ED visits, hospitalizations, and staff/physician burnout.

aware of this critical need to address the social determinants, your team is asking questions like,

"*How might we engage a high % of patients through a case manager or CHW?" and "How can we help them gain the resources to improve their SDOH, and alleviate straign on our ED staff?"

samaritan exists to reinforce your hospital's mission and speak to these questions.

I can't forget how fragile my situation was. Support from city samaritans is how I kept myself pointed in the right direction.

In my 12 years working with unhoused individuals, I’ve never seen barriers reduced for community involvement like this. This is truly one of the most innovative engagement tools I’ve seen.
