Our Mission.
-
Support.
HealthConnect DC recognizes the vital role of its partnerships with D.C. homeless shelters and community centers, and a key aspect of our mission is to support our partner organizations. We provide every one of our partners with donations of important supplies so that they can continue their amazing work.
-
Inform.
The cornerstone of our mission is to provide the medically underserved of D.C. with useful health-related information. Through basic health screenings and other patient education efforts, we educate shelter residents and other community members about their health.
-
Connect.
Our ultimate goal is to connect those we serve with the healthcare they need by promoting non-profit clinics that serve patients at every income level. We are patient advocates, encouraging each potential patient to follow up with us so that no one is left behind.
Patient Education
Patient education at HealthConnect DC is more than just a basic health screening. We also share important health-related information on monthly topics specifically designed to be useful for D.C.’s medically underserved.
Selected topics include:
Urgent Care Centers
Mental Health Resources
HIV/AIDS Prevention and Treatment
Common Ophthalmic Conditions
And many more!
Partnerships
Partnering with other D.C. organizations moves us toward our goal, moves other organizations toward their goals, and ultimately moves all of us toward the collective goal of improving the health of D.C.’s homeless and underserved. Thank you to all of our partners—we couldn’t do it without you.
