Dr. Peter Sherman, a pediatrician and Medical Director for the New York Children’s Health Project, sees many patients from New York City homeless shelters. We asked Dr. Sherman to share his thoughts about treating homeless children, the fastest growing segment of the homeless population in the United States. Approximately 40% of homeless people are families with children. (Shinn and Weitzman, 1996; US Conference of Mayors, 1997)
