Wasatch Homeless Health Care

What Wasatch Homeless Health Care does

Wasatch Homeless Health Care, Inc., doing business as Fourth Street Clinic, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community health center headquartered at 409 West 400 South in Salt Lake City, Utah. Founded in 1987, the organization provides integrated primary medical care, behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment, dental care, pharmacy services, optometry, and women's health services to individuals experiencing homelessness in the Salt Lake Valley, regardless of ability to pay. It operates as a Health Center Program grantee under 42 U.S.C. 254b and an FTCA deemed facility, holding a current HRSA four-star rating and a 2018 Health Center Quality Leader Award placing it in the top 30% of health centers nationwide. The clinic serves 4,800+ unique homeless patients annually through a three-channel delivery model: a main brick-and-mortar clinic, a 45-foot Mobile Health Care unit that travels to nonprofit partner sites (YWCA, First Step House, Housing Connect, others), and the Medical Outreach Street Team (MOST) that meets unsheltered individuals at their location. Technology infrastructure centers on the Epic Electronic Health Record system adopted in May 2018 through a partnership with University of Utah Health, enabling patient-record continuity across the academic health system. Cross-agency programs include the Magnolia supportive housing initiative with The Road Home and Huntsman Mental Health Institute (a documented 71% reduction in resident law enforcement encounters), the Nurse Care Management program with AUCH, Community Foundation of Utah, YWCA Utah, and First Step House, and quarterly Women's Health Days with Huntsman Cancer Institute.
