Care Beyond the Boulevard
Jaynell founded Care Beyond the Boulevard in 2017 as a volunteer-based mobile medical clinic operating from the back of a pickup truck delivering high-quality healthcare to the homeless and other patients who lacked access to these services. They have grown substantially since.
Care Beyond the Boulevard holds roughly 40 regularly scheduled medical clinics at selected locations each month. They also operate "Carehouse" at 3150 Fiberglass Road, Kansas City, KS 66115, which helps unhoused patients with a high risk of relapse recover after discharge from an area hospital. And they have "street outreach days", where they take healthcare directly to humans under bridges, in parks, encampments, and places where those experiencing poverty and homelessness are accessing other services.
They have a fundraiser scheduled for Sunday, February 22, in the Rumely Tractor Historic Event Space, 1222 W. 12th St, Kansas City, MO 64101 in the West Bottoms. They will be sharing "Stories From the Street".
They are also looking for opportunities to set up an information booth, join health fairs, and speak at conferences:
