Yadavary chapters have a unique and deep relationship with our local population experiencing homelessness as we visit this vulnerable, underserved patient population on a weekly basis. To this end, Yadavary Wellness and Health chapters are the shuttle for services for the community – as hygienic products and food can be efficiently and quickly distributed through our comprehensive networks.
Note: Due to COVID-19 this aspect of our organization has been temporarily placed on hold for the safety of all parties involved.
Apart from our general team who work to bridge the gap between individuals experiencing homelessness and service providers, our specialized team of Emergency Medical Technicians record blood pressure and heart rates and send them to Los Angeles County physicians and midlevel providers in collaboration with LA–HOPE: https://www.lahsa.org/portal/apps/la-hop/
Most importantly, we pride ourselves on diversity – a vital component to successful caring for the growing population experiencing homelessness. Our members come from various backgrounds, allowing us to communicate in languages such as Spanish, Mandarin, Farsi and more to the population we serve.
