Operation Safety Net is a medical outreach service consisting of volunteers who deliver medical, mental health and drug and alcohol services to the street homeless population in the greater Pittsburgh area. Medical, nursing and student volunteers, in partnership with the homeless community, walk the streets, alleys and riverbanks to search the homeless, build friendships and deliver professional care. This award winning program is being duplicated in other cities and is an educational model for medical trainees who have demonstrated leadership in care for the poor and other vulnerable populations. Coordination with other homeless providers includes a custom designed case record and tracking system known as SAFENET. Operation Safety Net also provides employment opportunities to the street homeless population.
