Medical Outreach Street Team
MOST (Medical Outreach Street Team)
Our Medical Outreach Street Team brings Hope to the streets of Las Vegas. Many individuals experiencing homelessness cannot get the healthcare they desperately need due to current life circumstances and lack of reliable transportation. Our street team has a heart to see and meet these individuals where they are. We are committed to delivering excellent healthcare with dignity and respect to all in need.
