Medical crises often require time to recuperate in a clean and safe environment—but what happens when someone leaves the hospital with no place to recover?  Without access to basic hygiene, secure medication storage, or protection for wounds, recovery can be nearly impossible.  In this episode, Christine Haley and Keiki Hinami share how they successfully developed a low-barrier medical respite center during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how that initiative evolved into a more permanent solution.  Epilogue provided by Ed Stellon of the Illinois Public Health Institute.
