HOMELESS MEDICAL OUTREACH
Often referred to as Street Medicine, teams of volunteers led by a medical practitioner offer medical care to unsheltered persons living in the eastern areas of Coachella Valley.
Teams always include a physician or nurse practitioner, medical residents, psychologists, social workers, and other volunteers to assist with medical translating and clerical support.
CVVIM is not an Urgent Care facility and we are not equipped for emergency room services.
