    California Street Medicine Collaborative, USC Street Medicine, USC Institute on Inequalities in Global Health, HPRI

    Year: 2025

    This Agenda offers a strategic roadmap to guide national coordination, policy reform, and field-building efforts in street medicine in the United States.

The document offers a snapshot of where the field stands today and where it aims to go, recognizing that the landscape continues to evolve.

    Through a process of collaborative brainstorming, thematic synthesis, and structured voting, participants identified shared priorities that span regions, practice models, and policy contexts. The Agenda brings together a mix of research questions, policy proposals, and practical interventions—many of which are deeply interconnected—and further work will be required to refine, implement, and assess them. To support prioritization and sequencing, Summit participants voted on the proposed agenda items based on perceived impact, feasibility, and urgency.
