Innovative Healthcare Solutions
The Center in Hollywood is committed to innovative approaches that address the unique healthcare challenges faced by unhoused individuals.
On-Site Dispensary: One of The Center’s most transformative innovations is our upcoming on-site dispensary, which provides immediate access to prescriptions. This model has been shown to reduce hospitalizations among unhoused clients by 32%, significantly improving health outcomes. Beyond enhancing patient care, this approach generates substantial healthcare cost savings by preventing costly emergency room visits and hospital admissions, ultimately easing the burden on the healthcare system.
The Power of Community: We go beyond traditional healthcare by building trust first, then connecting individuals to essential services. Our team fosters a welcoming environment where every person feels valued, respected, and truly seen. Strong community connections play a vital role in health, providing social support that reduces stress, improves mental well-being, and encourages healthier behaviors. By cultivating a sense of belonging and mutual care, we help individuals not only access care but also experience the healing benefits that come from being part of a supportive community.
