What Happens When The Homeless Get Sick?
Beyond Barriers: Photographs from the Frontlines of Health will showcase the innovative solution created by Sherbourne Health Centre to open an infirmary exclusively for the homeless and under-housed.
A doctor advises you to take your medication an hour before every meal and get plenty of bed rest.
Sounds simple.
But not if you have no bed to lie in and don’t know where your next meal is coming from. The solution at Sherbourne Health Centre was to open an infirmary exclusively for the homeless and under-housed. This innovative solution is just one of the many stories celebrated in Beyond Barriers: Photographs from the frontlines of health, on display at the Canadian Public Health Association’s Centenary conference.
