Plan your gift to South LA

Before Street Medicine became his primary care team, Willie was struggling. He had severe pain and gangrene in his leg from an old wound, and was often in an out of the emergency room. Unhoused patients’ medical issues often go unresolved until they become life-threatening.

Street Medicine team

The MLKCH Street Medicine team has provided him with consistent checkups, which have been vital to ensuring that his health remains stable. “They check on my feet, my legs, my blood pressure, my heart,” says Willie. “I know they’re gonna come, and when they come, I’m going to be here.”

Planned gifts to MLKCH support critical healthcare programs like Street Medicine.
