Since residency I have worked in a variety of interesting sites around Arizona. I spent one year in Tucson at St. Elizabeth's Clinic, then 2 years in Benson before I moved to Phoenix in 1991. After a few fascinating years on staff at the Arizona State Hospital, and a few at a little rural clinic in El Mirage, I came to Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) in 1996. I have now spent almost 15 years providing medical care to an exclusively homeless population.I resigned as the Medical Director of the (HCH) Program last year and work for a non-profit called Circle the City. We are preparing to open the first Medical Respite Center for the homeless in Arizona I'm mostly doing development for that right now, but will go back to providing medical care when the Center opens, hopefully late in 2011.
Starting Circle the City, planning for a new service for the homeless that Arizona has never done before
