Wishing a very happy 2nd birthday to our MVP Program and the amazing staff who make it happen! In just two years, MVP has become a vital source of care and connection for older adults experiencing homelessness. Every medical appointment, case manager visit, and act of compassion reflects patient-first care and the dedication of the team that shows up every day. We are so proud of what this program has accomplished, our partnership with , and even more excited for what’s ahead! 🎉

Join us at Kingsbury Hall on March 5th, where our very own Medical Director, Van Aston, PA-C, will be presenting for this season of Healthcare Stories! The theme this year is “Together,” symbolizing the unspoken and spoken ways we depend on each other, take on complex challenges, see the good in others that we often miss in ourselves, and how we witness and celebrate the defining moments of what it means to be human.

We are excited to announce that we’ve launched a new blog on our website, The Fourth Street Clinic Report, where we explore the systems, challenges, and solutions shaping health outcomes for people experiencing homelessness. Our first post looks at what the 2026 Point-in-Time Count reveals about the growing need for care in our community.

Last week, volunteers assembled care packages for the Point in Time Count, and on Friday morning from 4am - 6am, members of our staff and several volunteers participated in this critical effort: a count of sheltered and unsheltered people experiencing homelessness on a single night in January.

The data we collected will support future decision making for homeless service providers throughout the city. For Fourth Street Clinic, the Point in Time Count helps us estimate the level of health care needed among people experiencing homelessness, allowing us to scale and expand both our in-clinic and outreach services so we can meet patients where they are at. Thank you to our wonderful volunteers and dedicated staff!

February is American Heart Month! While heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US, we can still do a lot to protect our hearts. Learning about healthy blood sugar levels, cholesterol and blood pressure is a great first step, along with a healthy heart check-up at Fourth Street Clinic. Follow the link below to download the American Heart Month Planning Checklist from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), and remember to wear red on February 6th! ❤️

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month! Just like a yearly exam or physical, screenings for HPV are just as important. We are proud to offer exams, the HPV vaccine and other preventative services to our patients in partnership with Huntsman Cancer Institute. Early detection saves lives! 💙

No one should have to grow older without safety, stability, or care. That’s why the MVP Shelter and our partnership with The Road Home is so important — providing private rooms, medical support, and compassionate care for seniors and medically vulnerable individuals experiencing homelessness. Together, we’re creating a place where people can heal, find dignity and move forward with hope. Thank you to NPR for featuring our partnership!

Older adults are the fastest-growing homeless population across the U.S. Now some shelters are trying to make it easier to accommodate older people.

Last Saturday, an amazing group of volunteers from The Bennion Center joined us for a service project in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. They deep cleaned our waiting room, medical and dental clinics, and family room. We are so grateful for their support and willingness to learn about and be in service to the population we serve 🙌🏻❤️

On December 18th, we held the Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day Candlelight Vigil at Pioneer Park, in partnership with The Road Home, Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End Homelessness, Unsheltered Utah, Volunteers of America, Utah, Rescue Mission of Salt Lake, Catholic Community Services of Utah, The INN Between, The Other Side Academy, and many others.

We are deeply honored to be part of this event every year, creating a safe space for our unhoused community to grieve for those they have lost. When we come together with compassion, we are reminded that every life has dignity, and no one should be forgotten.🕯️❤️

The holiday season is a time to appreciate the people who make our work possible. Today, we want to thank you for being part of the Fourth Street Clinic family. Your support has meant so much this year. Because of compassionate people like you, we've been able to provide care to over 6,000 patients.

We are so grateful for the community we've built together; a community where health care is accessible to everyone, regardless of circumstances, and where understanding comes without conditions.

Your generosity transforms lives and that impact extends far beyond our clinic walls, allowing us to meet patients where they are. Make one last impact in 2025 and donate before the year is over! ❤️
