Family Medicine Residency Community Involvement

Community Asset Mapping

We dedicate time for first-year residents to explore the resources, people, landmarks and culture of the Lehigh Valley through an interactive Community Asset Mapping assignment. Residents get to know their new communities of clinical practice through a lens that encourages both personal and professional engagement with the community. 

Street Medicine Collaboration

Each month, the Residency program partners with LVHN’s Street Medicine Program to meet people where they are and deliver much-needed primary care services to clients at Safe Harbor homeless shelter in Easton. Through this collaboration, residents participate in a multidisciplinary care model based on the premise that “Everybody Matters.”
