Mercy Medical Center's Health Care for the Homeless

Judith Mealy, RN, MS, ANP, is clinical manager for Mercy Medical Center's Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) Program. Here she provides care for client William Martin at the Worthington Street Shelter in Springfield, Mass. Mealy spends 50 percent of her time on direct care, working with adults at the Worthington Shelter and at a sober shelter in Westfield. 'I love working with people,' Mealy says. She says so many of HCH's clients have been devalued by the medical system.
