  On Wednesday September 2, 2009 Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) started a very successful collaboration with I-HELP. The outreach team from HCH, consisting of a social worker and a doctor, came to the host site and serviced the 32 homeless participants from that night. The doctor was able to provide medicine from ibuprofen to antibiotics and offer refers to those who need follow up assistance. HCH will continue to work with I-HELP on a monthly basis.
