In the second episode of our Medicine on the Go series, we step beyond the ED to explore how UC Davis Health and Sacramento County are partnering to deliver care directly to the community through the Wellness Without Walls (W3) street medicine program. We’re joined by Dr. MK Orsulak, Assistant Professor of Family Medicine at UC Davis. We discuss how a mobile clinic staffed by interdisciplinary teams brings primary care, wound care, mental health services, HIV/STI testing, vaccinations, and substance use treatment to people experiencing homelessness—meeting patients where they are and reducing preventable ED visits. This episode offers a powerful look at how innovative, cross-system collaboration can extend emergency care beyond hospital walls and improve access to the right care at the right time. Do you have a program similar to W3 in your area? We’d love to hear about it!
