“It’s not just about survival. It’s about helping people see that they’re worthy of health and a future.” – Dr. Emry
That’s the driving force behind Midwest Street Medicine, a Sioux Falls nonprofit taking healthcare to the streets. Their team of medical professionals, peer support specialists, and community health workers is meeting people in encampments, alleyways, and on sidewalks — and offering more than medicine.
They offer dignity.
With support from SDCF's Beyond Idea Grant, they’re reaching more individuals and strengthening our communities.
“The medicine comes after the trust. For many of our patients, just having someone show up, remember their name and treat them with dignity is the first step.”
