Searching for Solutions
As a former mayor of a mid-size city in Canada, I had a first hand account of the rise in social issues facing communities across North America. Searching for Solutions is about examining issues such as the housing crisis, homelessness, mental health, addictions and food insecurity to find disruptive solutions that are having a real impact. Each episode looks at an issue and features a guest that guides us through a problem to a solution. A great resource for people in communities looking how to make a difference at a time when many people are feeling helpless.

Taking medical care to where people need it the most
Dr. Karl Stobbe practiced rural medicine for 20 plus so he understood the concept that medical care needs to find ways to meet people where they are - not the other way around. An accomplished physician, Dr. Stobbe took his years of practice and teaching and built a new medical practice in Niagara that took a team of doctors and nurses into homelessness encampments and shelters to deliver medical care to those who need it the most and who have very limited access to primary medical care. The results have been impactful.
On this episode of Searching for Solutions, Dr. Stobbe talks about the creation of Reach Niagara and how it is become an important part in alleviating the struggles of homelessness. Through the lens of compassionate medical care, Dr. Stobbe and his team are making a real difference in the lives of marginalized people.
