There are 600,000 people experiencing homelessness in the United States, including 200,000 people in California and 70,000 in Los Angeles County. And yet homeless health care is a one-person-at-a-time operation that requires care to be deployed on the streets where these patients live. Dr. Michael Hochman, CEO of Healthcare in Action, a subsidiary of SCAN Group, joined us to talk about providing medical care, mental health and addiction treatment, and case management to unhoused populations in California while working to get them into stable housing. Watch to learn how Healthcare in Action provides sustainable homeless health care services using a managed care framework. Dr. Hochman shares some success stories of how his teams have been able to build trust with our most vulnerable populations and help transition approximately 100 formerly unhoused patients into homes.
