real medicine right on the street.<\/p>\n<p>In the mornings we load up our trucks with backpacks full of medications, wound care supplies, materials and equipment for lab collection and testing, harm reduction supplies (including clean syringes), food, water, and much more.\u00a0\u00a0We drive out to the encampments and then we get out of the truck and down on the ground with our patients.\u00a0\u00a0We do this because people experiencing unsheltered homelessness have 3 times the mortality of people in shelters, and 10 times the mortality of their housed neighbors.<\/p>\n<p>At USC Street Medicine we believe that healthcare is a human right, and we are fortunate to be able to provide healthcare within our service area without respect to a patient\u2019s insurance
