Release Date: March 22, 2024
A standout feature of the Spring 2024 issue of Ochsner Journal is an absolute gut-punch of a Health, Medicine, and Society column about a free walk-in clinic at the Ozanam Inn in New Orleans where people experiencing homelessness are welcomed without judgment and are provided with care. In a profoundly moving call to action, Elyse Stevens of LSU Internal Medicine yanks back the curtain that separates us from them and provides a thought-provoking perspective on the myriad obstacles this stigmatized population faces in seeking and obtaining medical treatment.
