After finding it difficult to take its residents to medical care, a Toronto shelter for homeless men has begun bringing the care to them. For years, sick, homeless men would arrive at Seaton House, but it was almost impossible to find effective care for them. It took the winter-related deaths of 3 homeless men 6 years ago, and a subsequent inquest, to drive home the message that the status quo was not working. The result is a partnership between the shelter and St. Michael's Hospital, and a special 36-bed infirmary that opened at Seaton House last September.
