Rough Sleepers: Dr. Jim O'Connell's Urgent Mission to Bring Healing to Homeless People by Tracy Kidder
7 reviews

5.0
Rough Sleepers tells the story of Dr. Jim O’Connell’s professional career with the Boston Healthcare for the Homeless Program. Dr. Jim and the healthcare workers in the program have dedicated decades to ensuring everyone in Boston has access to healthcare, even when no other parties in the city, state, or country were trying to make the situation for unhoused people better. The stories in this book humanize homelessness and (hopefully) inspire critical thinking and compassion.
