New York, NY — New York City Mayor Eric Adams and NYC Health + Hospitals CEO Dr. Mitchell Katz today announced an expansion to its medical respite bed program, which offers patients experiencing homelessness a place to stay for up to 90 days after a major health event, in addition to expanded medical services that are not available in shelter. The 24 additional beds will serve 100 more patients each year, connecting medically-frail New Yorkers experiencing homelessness with critical care, including connecting them to medical professionals who offer services such as wound care, wellness checks, and physical therapy. During their stay in medical respite facilities, New Yorkers will also receive intensive housing case management to help them identify future housing options.
