Catholic Charities signed an agreement Tuesday with three medical centers to provide health care for uninsured Hispanics and other immigrants, a program organizers hope will provide needed services for a vulnerable population as well as help ease pressure on crowded emergency rooms.
The agreement with St. Joseph Medical Center, Johns Hopkins Medicine, and St. Agnes HealthCare expands upon a mobile clinic that has been treating about 2,000 people a year – a number organizers hope to double in the first year. Volunteer doctors, nurses and others will see patients at a new health center in a heavily Latino neighborhood a few blocks south of Johns Hopkins Hospital.”*
