The Center for Respite Care
As we approach the end of the year, we look back on our two decades of service and feel both humbled and grateful. With your support, we’ve provided 5,408 bed nights or 129,792 hours of service to individuals experiencing homelessness over the past year, helping them to rebuild their lives with newfound health and independence. We couldn’t have done it without you, and we thank you on behalf of those we’ve served.
Breaking the cycle of homelessness is no easy task, but our co-founder, Dr. Bob Donovan, has dedicated his life to our mission for the past 20 years. Before establishing the Center, Dr. Donovan worked in a medical van as part of the Health Care for the Homeless program, which provided medical care in Cincinnati shelters. It was there that he and his colleagues recognized the need for medical respite care.
