During the course of the last several months of outreach events, members of the EMS team noticed a decrease in the number of allowable admissions to local shelters. Combine that with COVID-19 precautions in public places, like the 69th Street station and other transportation centers where the homeless often seek shelter from life-threatening cold weather, the team saw an increased need for warm winter gear.
As the temperatures dropped, members of EMS team feared for the safety of the people they see during their outreach clinics. Thatâs when the EMS outreach team came together to rally the Crozer Health community.
