"Unsheltered populations experience higher rates of chronic disease, serious mental illness, and substance abuse than sheltered populations...Despite having large unmet health needs, unsheltered populations have lower healthcare utilization and often lack health insurance."

Interviews with patients at a health center illustrate barriers to mental health care that include:
perceived dismissal of mental health concerns (by healthcare providers), challenges with provider continuity, cost, communication breakdowns, the patient portal, and community-specific perceptions of mental health.

Rub-a-dub-dub! Bath-time in a 15th-century copy of Régime du corps, a personal guide to home composed by the physician Aldobrandino of Siena in 1256.
@bookhistodons @medievodons

Detail of a medieval manuscript leaf: folio 14 verso in Cambridge, University Library, manuscript Ii.5.11, photographed on a slight angle from the lower left fore-edge. It shows 12 lines of medieval French text copied in a bold hand with black ink. Lines 4 to 8 are indented to make space for a rectangle of pink and white swirls bordered in gold leaf. Sprays of pink thistles and spiky ivy leaves, in gold, extend from the border into the page’s margin. Within the rectangle rests a decorated initial ‘P’, rendered in blue and gold. The initial is infilled with a tiny depiction of a long wooden tub under a scarlet canopy. Inside the tub sits a bathing man, facing us, hands resting on the tub’s side. Placed nearby is a small table draped with a white cloth, and bearing a bar of yellow soap and a small white cup. Immersed in the dark, placid water, the bathing man contemplates these items meditatively, perhaps deciding what to wash next.
