About KC Street Medicine
The word "medicine" for us has a deeper meaning. We treat the mind, body, and spirit by addressing homelessness holistically.
CEO and Founder- Jae Edgar Bennett
Street Medicine KC provides vital medical and psychological services directly to those experiencing homelessness. We do this by bringing our mobile services straight to the need by meeting our clients where they are, our backpack medicine groups. Street Medicine also works directly out of the clinic providing mental health and medical services to those in need. Our services are the first essential step in achieving higher levels of care through assertive, coordinated, and collaborative medical management.
Every night, more than 2,000 people in the greater Kansas City area sleep on the streets, in their cars, and in homeless encampments along the rivers. Thousands more live in temporary shelters and couch surf just to have a roof over their heads. Because of medical and behavioral health neglect, the life expectancy of a homeless person is 27 years less than someone who is not homeless.
Street Medicine KC was founded in 2016. We are now a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We are actively looking for advisors, medical navigators, and volunteers to help run our program.
