Late on a sunny Tuesday afternoon in February, Milton Odom stopped by the University Lutheran Church at 37th and Chestnut streets for a meal. He left with not only supper, but a COVID-19 booster and a flu vaccine, as well as a connection to a primary care doctor.
The mobile clinic held at the church was organized by Shelter Health Outreach Program (SHOP), a Penn student group, with support from a Projects for Progress (P4P) award and Penn Medicine.
