Dr. Jim Withers isn’t your regular doctor. Every night since he first coined the term ”street medicine” 22 years ago, he has walked the streets of Pittsburgh giving medical attention to the homeless. For free.
While most doctors wait for their patients to come to them, Withers is aware that the people who need him most are unlikely to come to him. So, he goes to them. A humanitarian to the core, Withers strongly believes:
“The best way to care for the homeless is to treat them where they live.” [source]
