A 2005 study by New York City’s Department of Homeless Services revealed that homeless people die at twice the rate of the general population and suffer a wide range of debilitating and chronic illnesses. Project Renewal's Medical Department provides integrated psychiatric and primary care for homeless men and women regardless of their ability to pay and where it is easily accessible to them.

Mobile Medical
Clinics: CareVan, MedVan & Streetsmart |
|
| |
Our three fully outfitted medical vans provide professional primary medical care to homeless people 'where they are' - on the streets, in shelters, at soup kitchens and at drop-in centers. They are equipped with two fully operational examining rooms and staffed by a team that includes a physician, nurse practitioner, a pharmacist, a psychiatrist and driver/aide. Today, we have three vans on the street that offer preventative, urgent and HIV/AIDS services in addition to primary care. In 2011, the medical vans provided healthcare to over 3,400 homeless New Yorkers.
The MedVan was featured in an article of Chelsea Now. Read the story here. |

Launched in 2007, the ScanVan is the nation's first mobile radiology clinic to provide both mammograms and chest x-rays to homeless and poor patients. The ScanVan meets two critical needs: serving poor and homeless women with little or no access to breast health services and screening for tuberculosis. The staff provides counseling, education, and initiates and ensures follow-up treatment for all positive screenings.
