Organiser's Description
The Street Medicine program [https://www.mountcarmelhealth.com/about-us/community-programs/street-medicine] provides no-cost medical care to individuals who are uninsured or underinsured. The medical coach is accessible at eight locations across central Ohio and provides urgent care services for acute illness, infections, wounds, and unmanaged chronic disorders. Patients can also receive assistance with medication-assisted therapy (MAT), substance use disorder (SUD), as well as social needs such as food resources, specialty appointments, and connection to primary care. Three days a week, medical teams take to the streets, literally, and bring medical care to individuals living outside. The Street Medicine program has been in operation for forty years, reducing access barriers for those who are underserved. Proceeds from the race will support medical care provided in the community on behalf of the Street Medicine program.
On the day of the race, the Street Medicine team will be collecting needed items that can be given a new life with patients. Good condition hoodies, athletic pants, and tennis shoes are needed for both men and women. Those bringing items to donate will be entered into a raffle drawing for a prize.
