KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Heart to Heart International and Hope Faith Homeless Assistance have partnered to offer medical care for people experiencing homelessness.
Each Monday, Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., doctors and nurses will provide primary care assistance, wound care and prescription refills.
Heart to Heart organizers said the hope is to relieve some of the stress health care facilities are experiencing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Being able to provide free health care to those who need it is also a way to unburden those stressors that are occurring in addition to helping the health infrastructure here," said Heather Lee, director of disaster response for Heart to Heart.
Organizers said workers are practicing social distancing as best as possible while treating patients.
There are pre-screening measures in place in case someone comes in with COVID-19 symptoms.
