Portland Street Medicine is a coalition of volunteer medical providers, social workers, care coordinators, and concerned neighbors dedicated to reaching our unhoused community members.

Our clinic is in the streets, wherever and whenever people are congregating and living unsheltered. We deliver high quality reliable care and build trust through empathy and relationship. As an unconventional volunteer clinical team, we also seek collaboration with any community organization or health system eager to clinically extend and enhance their street outreach efforts.

We imagine a world where every person has the support and resources they need to access the care they deserve, creating a thriving and resilient community. 

Our Core Values are:

• Healthcare as Human Right

• Trauma Informed

• Trust

• Lived Experience and

• Healing

At Portland Street Medicine, we offer our houseless neighbors accessible whole-person care to improve and support health, and to bridge a gap in trust between people and systems. Powered by a corps of 150 volunteers and a small staff, PSM meets the growing medical and health needs of those experiencing homelessness in Portland.  Through regular and ongoing care on the streets of Portland, we strive to engage with our patients – building capacity to navigate the web of services they need to achieve their goals.
