Cathedral Clinic
A Cathedral Health Ministries Program Established in 2006
The Cathedral Clinic serves the health needs of the downtown homeless population of Houston, Texas. The Background of the Cathedral ClinicIn accordance with our philosophical platform, Cathedral Health Ministries (CHM) has launched our second major collaborative health services program. The Cathedral Clinic serves the health needs of Houston’s downtown homeless population. The collaborative nature of this project has been evident beginning with the planning stages, as CHM sought input from 24 secular and faith-based healthcare and outreach service providers, as well as members of the street community, in the vision for this comprehensive health center.The Cathedral Clinic provides this disenfranchised and needy population with health services. Newly constructed as part of Christ Church Cathedral’s new John S. Dunn Outreach Center, this clinic is an integral component in serving the multifaceted needs of the homeless. Though the emphasis is on behavioral and mental health, the clinic also addresses other health issues, bearing inmind that the different aspects of health are intricately intertwined. Healthcare for the Homeless – Houston (HHH) is the primary contract provider of clinical health services. This exciting collaborative venture with HHH also includes fundraising and shared costs of direct medical / health and related services. The clinic relies on self-referrals and referrals from other HHH clinics, mobile street outreach and community agencies providing care to the homeless. Priestsand pastoral care volunteers with CHM and Christ Church Cathedral identify people in need of health services through personal interaction in outreach center activities, facilitating clinic referrals and ongoing involvement for continued support through mentoring and counseling.
