Albuquerque’s Investment In Healthcare For The Homeless

The City of Albuquerque is making a significant investment in the Gateway Center along Gibson, which aims to be a one-stop shop for services. One of the main resources inside the facility, known as 'Medical Respite' will provide primary medical, dental, and behavioral health care for people living on the streets. Rachel Biggs, Chief Strategy Officer for the program, and Kate Morton, Chief Clinical Officer, join Chris and Gabby to explain how the facility will work, who it will serve, and the overall promise to the community. How big of an impact will it make? Is medical staffing a struggle?
