About the Episode

Individuals who are unhoused are too often discharged from Emergency Rooms into homelessness. This week Dr. Louis Francescutti joins us on the podcast to talk about the amazing new program he’s spearheading in Edmonton, Alberta, the Bridge Healing Transitional Accommodation Program, also known as Asamina Kochi, which means “to try again” in Cree, that provides transitional housing for people in need leaving the ER. We talk about why there was a need for this, how it came together, and the hopes for it to be scaled in the future
