A HUGE congratulations to all those that shared posters at Loyola’s St. Albert’s Day symposium, with a special shoutout to those that shared their research regarding those experiencing homelessness! #loyolastreetmedicine #chicagostreetmedicine #streetmedicine #communityandglobalhealth #stalbertsday

Help us celebrate "SOCKtober" before the month comes to an end!! 🧦🧦 A HUGE part of our work at CTA Blue involves wound care, especially caring for the feet that carry our clients around each and every day. So, with that in mind, we are ALWAYS in need of socks! Help us better serve our community by helping build up our sock supply! We are looking for NEW (unused) socks in sizes M/L/XL/XXL. Most of these socks will be placed over the top of wound care materials, so larger sizes are much better for our clients' needs. If you'd like to help out, but it isn't feasible for you to physically donate socks, please consider scanning the QR code or heading to the link in our bio to donate monetarily. Our team would be happy to purchase socks on your behalf. Anything and everything is greatly appreciated by our team. We thank you for your never ending support. #loyolastreetmedicine #chicagostreetmedicine #streetmedicine #socktober #sockdriveforthehomeless #sockdrive
