Health Care for the Homeless Program Grantee/Federally Qualified Health Center Chief Executive Officer: Linda Ross, MBA, MPM www.circlethecity.org

Circle the City, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community health organization, exists to create and deliver innovative healthcare solutions that compassionately address the needs of men, women and children facing homelessness. In 2012, Circle the City launched Arizona’s first medical respite center, a 50-bed facility where adults experiencing homelessness could rest and heal following periods of illness and injury. In 2015, Circle the City opened The Parsons Family Health Center, an integrated primary care and behavioral health community health center also serving the homeless of Maricopa County. Circle the City operates a robust outreach program utilizing four mobile medical units each equipped with 2-exam rooms and also utilizes street medicine teams throughout the County. In 2018, Circle the City further expanded to become the sole homeless healthcare provider of primary care services in Maricopa County. This expansion includes a second family health center and medical respite facility on the Human Services Campus as well as multiple additional outreach and afterhours sites of service. Altogether, this creates a seamless continuum of homeless specialty care throughout Maricopa County.

Circle the City has 2 sites in Phoenix and a mobile medical program serving the greater Phoenix metro area. To find exact clinic locations, please visit:
