Meeting patients where they are.
Not every patient can come to us.
Emergency medicine residents take healthcare beyond hospital walls through street medicine outreach, connecting with some of Las Vegas's most vulnerable neighbors—including people experiencing homelessness in the streets, encampments, and tunnels of our city.
These experiences teach something that cannot be learned from a textbook alone: how housing, transportation, poverty, substance use, mental health, and access to care shape what happens long before a patient reaches an emergency department.
Better emergency physicians understand the lives their patients return to when they leave the hospital.
