Proud Supporters of Circle The City, Providers of Respite Care For The Underserved

We are excited to support Circle the City in Phoenix, AZ. Its mission 'is to create and deliver innovative healthcare solutions that compassionately address the needs of men, women, and children facing homelessness.'  The Undie Chest will be providing bras to Circle the City for an educational event on breast health in addition to other undies for participants of their program. 

Circle the City is the vision of founder, Sister Adele O’Sullivan. Sister Adele and her community, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, recognized greater healthcare needs in underserved populations where there was a lack of sanitary conditions for wound care, challenges with medication management, and a lack of a place for people to rest and recover from a serious illness or injury.

This inspired Sister Adele’s vision for a medical respite center for people facing homelessness. The first donations were kept in a shoebox. As donations and community support grew, Circle the City opened Arizona’s first respite center for people experiencing homelessness in 2012.

Today Circle the City operates two medical respite centers, two outpatient healthcare clinics, and four mobile medical units that provide care to shelters, transitional living centers, and hard-to-reach areas. Annually they serve 8000 unique patients. 

Kudos to the team at Circle the City! Thanks for all of the great work you are doing to support the underserved community in Phoenix, AZ.
