ABSTRACT
The number of homeless people in the nation and New Orleans continues to increase. It is an important problem for all citizens but is especially so for the social and medical care agencies. As physicians we are morally bound to help the less fortunate of our communities, and we must also protect the community from the illnesses to which the homeless may be more susceptible. However, because very little is accurately and reliably known about the homeless in New Orleans, little can be efficiently done to aid them. We report the results of our brief surveys to stimulate concern and action in the medical community for these unfortunate people.
