RCHI operates regular pop-up clinics in collaboration with community partners with on-site services complimented by mobile teams that bring care directly to people in the community, with a primary focus on unhoused and marginally housed individuals. Many of our clients are suffering from mental health and/ or substance use disorders. We care for people wherever they are: on the streets, in tents, encampments, at community centers, in shelters, residential treatment programs, and single-room occupancy hotels.
