SUMMARY:Bridging the Gap: Addressing the Syndemic in Vulnerable Communities Through Field-Based Outreach
DESCRIPTION:In addition to traditional barriers to care (i.e.\, appointment access\, transportation\, insurance)\, the emotional impact and stigma of a hepatitis C (HCV)\, HIV\, or STI diagnosis can prevent patients from engaging in care to treat their disease\, further marginalizing and widening healthcare inequity. This is particularly true for people who use drugs (PWUD) and the unhoused. For program working toward HCV and HIV elimination\, field-based care coordination and peer navigators have become vital resources for outreach to these populations. Not only do they leverage personal lived experience to validate challenging circumstances and restore dignity\, they also use trauma-informed care (TIC) models to empower patients toward their health goals\, both large and small. This podcast episode seeks to share the experience and insights of a peer navigator working in Kitsap County\, Washington\, to link patients to necessary treatment while facing the interpersonal\, psychosocial\, and logistical barriers to care that impact these populations. The interviewee we have chosen is a highly dynamic person\, with lived experience and deep ties to the community. She has been working with the unhoused\, underserved\, and drug-using population in Kitsap County for more than a decade\, and would bring that knowledge\, insight\, and caring to our conversation.
