“For twenty-five years I have been
providing care to patients whose illnesses
contribute to the most devastating
form of suffering: human and
social isolation. Through my work as an
academic community psychiatrist I have
been given the somewhat unique opportunity,
and privilege, to dedicate my
full professional energies to caring for
mentally ill persons experiencing homelessness.”
“And, as physicians, I would hope
the initial impulse and response that
begins the process of healing will always
be, ‘I see you. I hear you. You are not
invisible.”
– Richard C. Christensen, MD, MA
