Typically, homeless individuals do not have access to regular health care. That means two things. They develop health problems that become compounded by years of neglect and their health problems help keep them homeless.

The University of Kentucky College of Nursing staff treats clients at the Emergency Shelter and the Hope Center has a full-time nurse practitioner who treats clients at the Women's Recovery Center.  Health Clinic nurses treat these clients and also educate them on health care issues thereby helping to prevent other health problems in the future.

The Hope Center also has a close partnership with the Fayette County Health Department.
