Women's Street Medicine Initiative - Memphis

WEI proposes a women-centered street medicine program that brings trauma-informed primary, behavioral, and reproductive healthcare directly to unhoused women across Memphis. By meeting women in encampments, motels, and shelters, the initiative bridges critical gaps in access caused by violence, homelessness, and systemic exclusion. Through integrated mobile care and lived-experience leadership, the program aims to improve health outcomes, increase safety, and build women's power and agency within the evolving health ecosystem in Memphis.
