2010 National Health Care for the Homeless Conference
June 2nd - 5th, 2010, at Vanderbilt University, San Francisco.
"Estimates are that over 3.5 million people experience homelessness every year, with several hundred thousand experiencing homeless every night. Standard clinical practice guidelines often fail to take into consideration the unique challenges faced by displaced people that may limit their ability to adhere to a plan of care. Exposure, violence, malnutrition, and other adverse realities of homelessness lead to very specific chronic and life-threatening health conditions. The inability to effectively navigate social services and overcome barriers to care often keeps many homeless patients from receiving needed diagnosis and treatment. When treatment is prescribed, patients are often unable to follow through with recommendations. The inability to secure prescriptions, absence of reliable transportation for follow up appointments, and lack of basic food and shelter to follow dietary guidelines and clean wounds are just a few common issues that complicate a homeless person’s treatment. By adapting clinical guidelines to address these issues, clinicians can foster improved patient outcomes."

[My photos of homelessness as posted above are taken from at least 12 of the 20 countries I have been inside of during the past 5 years:- Iran, USA, North Ireland, Australia, Turkey, Albania, Norway, Denmark, Cuba, Italy, South Africa, and Portugal. I have not included here some of my other homeless photos from Morocco, Canada, Scotland, Eire, France, China, etc. The only two countries I have been to at where I found no public homelessness was at The Faroe Islands and inside North Korea.]

Dear Uncle Monty. The homeless list is interesting. Just one question I have. The 2010 INSP Conference - International Network of Street Papers - is not listed.
If you know the date and place for its conference this year, please list it. Its website has been down for weeks due to hosting problems, states INSP. Have a nice day! Sara Harding.

To The Bigger Issue.
There is an important homeless conference, I believe, that's to take place in Moscow at the end of the year. Either in November or December. I am struggling to find more facts about the Moscow issue.
Can you help? All the best, Burton.
