thing coming up called the Human Race. It's put on by the Health Connect.
But with this event, there's a bunch of different nonprofits that you can
run for or you can walk for. So when you're registering and you're making
your donation to register, you get to pick where that donation goes. And
our guest today is from one of those organizations. We have Heidi joining us
right now from Midwest Street Medicine, and I bet you would like them to
pick Midwest Street Medicine. Wouldn't you hide, Well, yes, of course
I would. Now we would. Let's talk about Midwest Street Medicine. How
long have you been around and what does it you guys do. We are
a new or a new nonprofit. We started in July last summer. We
are mostly volunteer based, started by doctor Shannon Emery last summer, and we
provide healthcare services, addiction services, social services to those experiencing homelessness. And
this is something that we've seen a bit of an uptick in our community recently,
so it's a good thing that we've got an organization like Midwest Street Medicine
there to help. Yes, Street Medicine is a concept that's been around since
the nineteen nineties and it is we are bringing it now to the Midwest.
It is new to the suit Falls area. We have over four hundred and
your five hundred folks experiencing homelessness just in the sup Falls area and that's our
primary area of focus at this time. And if somebody listening would like to
get involved for they're going, Man, I've never heard of this, but
boy, I would like to help. Are you looking for volunteers right now?
We are and you can go to our website at Midwest Streetmedicine dot org
and fill out a form there if you're interested in volunteering with us. We
are primarily volunteers of physicians. We have physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses,
community members, social work, and just a variety of volunteers that are
helping provide medical services, addiction services, wound care to those experiencing homelessness.
And Sioux Falls has been blessed to have two of our largest employers in the
community, our healthcare systems, and there's several other healthcare companies here outside of
those two as well. So there's a lot of people in this community that
have the background that have maybe done this for a long time or maybe are
still doing this, but would probably find a lot of comfort and also just
be really happy to be able to give a little bit of time to help
Midwest Street Medicine. Yes, I would agree. We do have a pool
to pull from. I'm actually down in Vermilion and come up to two Falls
to help out up in the area. But between Avera, s Handford and
the area, we have quite a few volunteers that are able to come in
and help and so that's a pretty cool thing. It's a great team.
Absolutely well. I am super excited to meet you on the first of June.
Are you going to be at the event on Saturday June first, you
bet ja. I will be lacing up my sneakers as most members of our
team will be there as well. Well. I'll be playing the music and
make an announcement. So make sure to come over and say hello. And
again, thank you very much for taking the time to chat today. You
are so welcome. Thank you for the opportunity. Again. Heidi is with
Midwest Street Medicine and that is one of the organizations that you can run for
or you can walk for during the Human Race. It's coming up Saturday,
June first. If you'd like to get some more information, I encourage you
