Shelter Health Services Incorporated

Lacking access to healthcare and medical services, clinic clients are increasingly presenting with comorbidities of complicated and serious health issues, sometimes requiring immediate and urgent action. Comprehensive assessment and diagnoses (Early Detection, Aversion & Prevention assessment tools, point-of-care tests, and diagnostics), integrated clinic and collaborative treatments (physicians and nurses) and ongoing clinic supervision and coordination of care (Medical Assistants) is provided in lieu of nonemergent ER visits. Clinic being located within the shelter where clients live is the key to success (resolving, controlling, managing, averting, and preventing issues being addressed). The ultimate success/goal is unencumbered health issues that allow clients to get jobs, become self-sufficient and live a better quality of life.
