Cottage Health Recuperative Care Program Offers Healing, Housing and Hope to Patients Experiencing Homelessness

August 16, 2019

As some of the most vulnerable members of the community, patients experiencing homelessness are at risk of poorer health outcomes and often lack access to basic support in recovering from illness or injury.
