Homeless Patients as a Vulnerable Population
Homeless patients are a vulnerable sector of the population that currently exists in our city and that
unfortunately we see around us every day. The homeless patient, in addition to the challenges of
not having a home, must daily face the difficulties of acquiring food, so nutrition is one of the most

vaccinations and more. A patient population like homeless adults can require more mental and
emotional energy than other patients, and especially call for more introspection on the part of the
case manager. For this reason, Dyer says, it is even more important for case managers to be
