In our practices, you will be able to provide patients with social and medical complexity with the care they deserve through collaboration with a multidisciplinary team, longer and more frequent visits, and expertise in housing navigation.

As a member of the SHOW program, you will be part of an innovative street medicine providing health screenings, vaccinations, wound care, and basic material necessities to unsheltered patients. Additionally, the SHOW team will provide harm-reduction focused addiction services and behavioral health and social service referrals to help meet the needs of this population.

The great part about working in the safety net team is being able to offer so much to the person in front of you. In addition to navigating the existing resource network on our patients’ behalf (including housing), you will join a close-knit interdisciplinary team that thinks outside of the box through each individual patient’s goals. Every patient and every goal contribute to the collective knowledge pattern of poverty medicine interventions at NYC Health + Hospitals, which carries the potential to transform the way care is delivered to the most vulnerable New Yorkers among us.Dr. Yinan Lan
