Community Impact: Big Idea Talk

How can we ensure medical respite for all our neighbors?

Crossing Sectors for Medical Respite, a talk by Amanda Anderson.

Medical respite provides a safe place to heal. Think of a time when you were a patient in the hospital. What if you were discharged with a new diagnosis of homelessness? Nurse Amanda Anderson shares Jesse’s story to show how the City of Good Neighbors (Buffalo, New York) is working across sectors to ensure every neighbor has a real chance of healing.

What three things to we need to do this?

Watch the Big Idea Talk below!
