In this episode, we talk about health care for the homeless. How can this organization deliver person-centered, interdisciplinary care to some of Baltimore's most vulnerable people, and what can we learn from them?
Health Care for the Homeless - Maryland
About Our Guests:
Amelia Jackson, MSN, CRNP, FNP-BC is a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) with over 7 years of experience, working for the past 5 years at Health Care for the Homeless, a Federally Qualified Healthcare Center (FQHC), caring for some of the most vulnerable individuals in our society. Ms. Jackson is a 2008 graduate of the University of Louisville with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and a 2013 graduate of the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing where she received her Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) with a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) focus. Prior to becoming an FNP, Ms. Jackson worked as an emergency department nurse for 5 years. The driving force behind Ms. Jackson and her work is that high quality, equitable, culturally informed healthcare should not be a privilege enjoyed by some, but a right enjoyed by everyone.
