Caught between a Rock and a Hard Place – Expanding Homeless Medical Respite in Philadelphia
Abstract
Imagine going to the hospital with pneumonia, being eventually discharged, and then having to “rest” on a bench or under a bridge in the cold. Unfortunately, because there are limited recuperative care options for the homeless in Philadelphia, many have to endure physical recovery in the most inhospitable of places, often leading to incomplete healing and eventual readmission to a hospital emergency room.
