A growing number of people are taking advantage of a new free health service in Newcastle 🚐🧑⚕️
The Street Side Medics van was officially launched today, but has already been operating for a month, staffed by volunteer doctors and registered nurses like Aimee Cassar.
“It’s a constant in those patients lives, so for me being able to give back is really important," said Aimee.
The van is not designed for emergencies but brings vital health services to people experiencing homelessness and those who can't afford healthcare.
The Street Side Medic is located in the grounds of the Salvation Army centre in Cleary Street, Hamilton, and operates every Friday from 10am - 12 noon.
Other services offered on site include free meals and laundry services.
