“We’re extremely excited and grateful to have this agreement in place but Affinia Healthcare has been a constant help to our guests for some time now,” said Bishop Michael Robinson, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of City Hope St. Louis. “We have worked with DeAndre [Commons, Unhoused Manager] and his team for some time so we know how attentive and resourceful they are. Whatever we need, they make sure it happens. We know that our guests will continue to benefit from this important partnership.”

In addition to the services listed, Affinia Healthcare and City Hope St. Louis will coordinate additional services including medical case management, vaccination clinic and services, assistance with medical insurance and procedures, and life-skills training.
