Mission, Vision, and Values

"On their Terms, On Their Turf"

We are an interdisciplinary organization dedicated to supporting learner-fueled street medicine chapters throughout Chicago and aim to improve the health and wellbeing of our city. Since August 2017, we have been delivering healing to those experiencing unsheltered homelessness. We don't wait for people to come to us. We take the care to them.
