Event LinkContinuity within Chaos: Caring for Individuals Living Chronically in Shelters and on the Streets
Dr. O’Connell will share the story of how he transitioned from the role of Chief Internal Medicine resident at MGH to the country’s first street doctor for those experiencing homelessness. Recounting his nearly forty years of serving Boston’s most vulnerable population, Dr. O’Connell will illuminate the history of homelessness and the undue burden of co-occurring medical, psychiatric, and substance use disorders among chronically homeless persons. Most importantly, Dr. O’Connell will reflect on the many lessons he’s learned while caring for his patients.
Free and open to the public. Presented by the University of Virginia School of Medicine and School of Nursing.
