Health Care for the Homeless

Striving to meet the medical needs of everyone in our community, GLFHC offers the only federally-funded Health Care for the Homeless Program in the Merrimack Valley.

GLFHC’s Health Care for the Homeless program (HCH) serves over 1,100 patients at community-based sites across the Merrimack Valley. Our medical team provides primary healthcare directly to this patient population at shelters, drop in centers, and soup kitchens for health issues ranging from diabetes to depression and exposure to the elements. In addition to providing primary healthcare, staff also assist in securing medications, health insurance, and directing our homeless patients towards local resources for food, emergency shelter, permanent housing and job training.
