Of all the services offered to the unsheltered in Chattanooga, the most valuable and comprehensive are offered by The Homeless Healthcare Center on 11th Street in Chattanooga.
Dr. Karen Moyer is the Medical Director for the Center. For 22 years she has led a team of nurses and physicians tending to the healthcare of the unsheltered population in Chattanooga. They are family doctors for the unsheltered treating them like family.
Joe Brackett is a tireless advocate for the unsheltered. For more than seven years he has spent every week visiting the unsheltered in camps spread across the city and county offering help with their daily needs as well as offering them access to the comprehensive healthcare available through the Center.
In part 3 of On the Outside in Chattanooga, we talked to Joe and Dr. Moyer about the satisfaction and the frustrations of the work they do every day.
