Everyone Village, a transitional shelter program in Eugene, is partnering with PeaceHealth to open 10 tiny homes where unhoused patients can safely recover from surgery. As reported by KLCC, the project will also include a medical clinic to provide primary care to all residents of the village. Patients in the recuperation cottages will have full access to Everyone Village’s suite of wraparound services during their stay.
Gabe Piechowicz is the founder and executive director of Everyone Village, and Susan Blane is the director of community health at PeaceHealth Oregon. They both join us to talk about the new effort to improve health outcomes in Eugene’s homeless population.
