Case Study: Government Emergency Intake Shelter (EIS) Response (Unaccompanied Minors)
How Wellhart Staffed 120 Healthcare Workers in 72 Hours to Care for Thousands of Displaced Children
In 2021 Wellhart acted as a subcontractor to the Federal Government, placing medical providers at an Emergency Intake Shelter (EIS) in California for 24-7 coverage.
Pursuant to the subcontract, from April to October 2021, Wellhart assigned physicians and nurse practitioners to treat thousands of unaccompanied children who had recently crossed the US/Mexican border.
Assigned providers handled both intake and care until the unaccompanied children departed the complex to be reunited with their families.
