Taking care of people experiencing homelessness: a community case study on the practice of the Volunteer Association “A doctor for you” in Brescia, Italy

This study demonstrates that a multi-disciplinary approach is strategic in order to respond to such a complex phenomenon as homelessness is; not-adopting a multidisciplinary approach may itself represent an additional mechanism of exclusion. Further studies are needed to explore innovative strategies to better face the problem of how: 1) to approach patients experiencing homelessness and 2) to implement appropriate medical assistance.
