In the emergency department, we do so well educating around and treating medical complaints - but we sometimes forget the folks we serve live in environments that force decisions that can negatively impact health

Taking a moment to address social concerns, including access to food and shelter may be more impactful in the long run than for the people we see than simply treating an acute complaint and moving on

The #COVID19 Crisis in #NewYorkCity has drastically increased the amount of New Yorkers that are housing insecure and experiencing #homelessness. @WeHelpNYC's Tahreem Nawaz dives in to bring us an update. #JulyHomelessRights #HomelessRightsMonth #NYC l8r.it/tNBm

Domestic violence is a primary reason families enter housing shelters. Other leading causes include eviction and overcrowding. Great team meeting talk led by @Giselle_Ashley today at EMxSDOH Lab

Event tonight on decriminalization of syringe use ⬇️ Thank you Shannon EMxSDOH Lab for sharing!

The dangerous mass-transfers have restarted. It's a disaster. Some Homeless Services hotel residents w/ reasonable accommodation needs due to disabilities were awoken in the middle of the night -at 1am- to sign transfer forms they weren't allowed copies of, while they were half asleep.

This work focuses on primary care and FQHCs - but there is so much opportunity for my own field #EmergencyMedicine @ACEPNow to address health related social needs #SDOH -- thank you to EM leaders paving the way in this work EMxSDOH Lab Andrew Levitt Center for Social Emergency Medicine and others!

Gun violence in Philadelphia is an emergency. The words we use to describe it matter. The actions we take to end it matter. @Eugenia_South and I share our experience in the The Philadelphia Inquirer. inquirer.com/news/gun-viole…

I was at a midtown hotel yesterday as homeless New Yorkers were forced out. I’m going to share what I witnessed because the level of disregard Dept of Homeless Services showed for people’s health & well being was shocking & I think it’s a window into the damage they do regularly.

Good morning. I’m at 9 Malcolm X Blvd in Brooklyn where people are expected to be removed from a shelter they’ve lived in for over a year to be put into a congregate shelter where they share their room with 12+ other people.

I have been evicted before. It is a violent act. It is MUCH harder to get into housing once you have been evicted. After that eviction, it was a full 8 years before my name could be on a lease. We have to prevent evictions if we want to end homelessness.
