Each year, the New York City homeless family shelter system provides transitional housing for nearly 20,000 homeless children. While the health care needs of these children are substantial, there is currently no system-wide mechanism for ensuring that they have access to appropriate medical care. This report analyzes information from the Homeless Child Health Care Inventory, a survey conducted by Montefiore Medical Center's Division of Community Pediatrics, to examine the adequacy of health care resources available to the homeless children in New York City. Results showed that available health care resources varied considerably throughout the shelter system and that nearly 50% of homeless children in New York City did not have access to appropriate medical care.
每年，纽约市无家可归家庭庇护系统为近2万名无家可归儿童提供过渡性住房。虽然这些儿童的医疗保健需求很大，但目前尚无全系统机制来确保他们能够获得适当的医疗服务。本报告分析了来自“无家可归儿童医疗保健清单”的信息，该清单是蒙特菲奥里医疗中心社区儿科学部进行的一项调查，旨在研究纽约市无家可归儿童可获得的医疗保健资源是否充足。结果显示，整个庇护系统中可获得的医疗保健资源差异很大，纽约市近50%的无家可归儿童无法获得适当的医疗服务。
