Their patients include some of the District's most vulnerable residents:

  • The homeless
  • Working poor families
  • Central American and African immigrants
  • At-risk youth
  • The elderly and the mentally ill

Because their patients suffer from social, emotional, and financial problems that undermine their health and well-being, their supplement primary medical care with dental care, counseling, and social services.
