While the Home Hospital model continues to expand across the United States, patients experiencing homelessness are often left out. Today, as we honor Veterans Day, we announce that Mass General Brigham’s Home Hospital and Ariadne Labs, in collaboration with the New England Center and Home for Veterans (NECHV), have launched a home hospital pathway for Veterans experiencing homelessness. This marks the first effort in the country to test providing patients with high-quality medical care from a housing partner’s residence, in this case NECHV's Safe Haven. Learn more about how this pathway will work and words from Mass General Brigham Home Hospital and NECHV leadership. http://spklr.io/6045a76Z
