Early bird ticket prices end 9/28 for Feast at the Market. Don't wait to get your tickets for a progressive meal from top restaurants, brewers and vintners in the Market to support health equity. neighborcare.org/feast. What do we mean by health equity? Many patients seen through our HHOT (Housing Health Outreach Team) program have deep mistrust or fear of health care systems, often rooted in trauma and barriers to care. When a case manager at one of our partner permanent supportive housing residences noticed a resident in pain, a Neighborcare nurse was able to convince him to accept help. It can take years to build trust with those who have fallen through the cracks in our medical system. Neighborcare staff are there to forge these relationships, one day at a time.

Join us for Community Relief Day 2024 a free event at Jefferson Community Center on 9/27/24, from 10 am to 3 pm. Dozens of services, including medical, mental health, housing, legals and more. Learn more and register: https://bit.ly/4d2NW9W
