To provide safe, supportive and, sustainable primary health outreach services for our community.
About
Healthy Connection for All is a not for profit outreach initiative supported by Mayfield Medical Connection (MMC), Soul Hub, Soul Clinic and members of the Newcastle Health and Business Community. Our passions are community, training, innovation and balance.
Healthy Connection For All aims to provide regular medical services to people in our community currently experiencing homelessness. Crossing the gap between significant housing pressure and living what many of us take for granted as a “normal life” is typically very difficult. Obtaining routine healthcare is one of these difficulties.
Health issues for those with compromised access to a healthy diet, adequate shelter, life stability and hygiene facilities are high.
Our vision is to provide regular availability of GP services to assist members of our community currently experiencing homelessness to achieve better health outcomes. Mental health has been cited as a major cause of unstable housing Making the GP accessible also makes mental health services accessible.
By providing routine healthcare assistance access we also hope to reduce the load on emergency departments and paramedic services by providing care before health issues become an emergency.
