I applaud Gov. Josh Green for building “in my backyard” kauhale for the homeless who are recovering from injuries (“‘Medical respite’ kauhale planned,” Star-Advertiser, April 25). The need is great. I applaud Green for being a doctor with compassion and a vision.
I would add that it might be nice to get young medical students and nursing students out there who need practicum work hours to help with hands-on care needs.
A friend of mine went to University of Wisconsin’s nursing school, and it had a similar program in which nursing students did hands-on care with the homeless community. She said it was the best training.
