Women's Medical Respite
Women's Medical Respite is working 24/7 to help homeless women from the Ozarks who are too ill to be on the streets.
WHY WE'RE HERE
Just imagine getting so sick that you have to go to the hospital and have surgery. Now imagine that you're beginning to feel human again and the doctor says that you can go home.
The only problem is… you don't have a home.
A local shelter would give you a safe place to sleep, but will require you to leave every morning at 7. How will you keep your wound clean? Where will you lie down during the day when you need to rest? How will you follow through with medications and make it to follow-up appointments? How can you find nutritious food? How will the summer's heat or the winter's cold affect your recovery?
WHAT WE PROVIDE
A safe, clean 24-hour environment at no cost
Nutritious food
Transportation to medical appointments
Assistance with medications
Utilization of prescribed home health services
Referrals for housing and primary care
Around-the-clock access to someone who cares
