When Health Care for the Homeless Project (HCHP) was founded in 1985, co-founder Dr. Janelle Goetcheus, said, "We must go where the homeless are – in the shelters, on the streets, and under bridges." For 35 years, this vision has inspired Unity Health Care in our mission to meet the health care needs of the most vulnerable members of our society where they are, regardless of their ability to pay, and this vision will continue to guide efforts to strengthen our outreach in the years to come.

Unity Health Care (Unity) is proudly celebrating 35 years of providing primary, specialty, and behavioral health care services to DC residents.
