Covid-19 and Homelessness: Healthcare Heroes in Action

We take all of the precautions necessary to make sure our clinic is clean and thoroughly sanitized. We have set up our waiting area and our clinic itself to have social distancing appropriate distances six feet or more. All of our staff use Ppe. Every time we see a patient, we're wearing masks and gloves and face protection for their safety and for ours.
