title: A mobile clinic for the homeless and mentally ill: meeting the needs of a target population.
abstract: Six years ago, a home care nurse doing research for a school project discovered a population of elderly, mentally ill, and homeless people who were not receiving adequate health care. The nurse's efforts resulted in her home care agency's expanding its services to include a mobile clinic program. Today, the program employs five nurses who provide health assessment and group education to over 1,000 people.
