NWHS is dedicated to providing compassionate and coordinated care. Because we operate both medical clinics and homeless service provider sites, our teams can join forces to conduct outreach to homeless camps offering not only hygiene items, food supplies, and connections to resources, but also on the spot nurse consults and access to healthcare.
If you see someone experiencing homelessness who needs help or who seems to be struggling with their physical and/or mental health, or if you see a camp in the Salem area, you can contact our team via our Outreach Request Form and alerting us as to any specific concerns you may have.
Please join us in our efforts to help those who need it the most.
