Oberlin Street Medicine Initiative presents Igniting Compassion, a documentary screening of street medicine and community-care in Northeast Ohio. This film, provided by the Northeast Ohio Opioid Consortium, shows us how physicians, harm reduction specialists, outreach workers, and social workers are currently working together on the streets of Northeast Ohio to overcome barriers and reach our unhoused neighbors.

Join us for this powerful documentary screening, followed by a discussion and reflection on compassion, health equity, and the role we can all play in supporting our neighbors.
