MSU’s Spartan Street Medicine goes where care is needed

Michigan State University’s Spartan Street Medicine program was founded by osteopathic medical student Brianne Feldpausch. She and her team go out into streets and shelters in Lansing to serve individuals struggling with homelessness.
They treat medical conditions, assist with health literacy and connect individuals to social services. But, more importantly, they listen and treat each person with dignity and respect.
“This is my passion. I hope to see street medicine grow and expand into more communities. And I plan to dedicate my life to providing care with the mindset that everyone matters,” says Feldpausch.
Michigan State University has been advancing the common good with uncommon will for more than 160 years. One of the top research universities in the world, MSU pushes the boundaries of discovery and forges enduring partnerships to solve the most pressing global challenges while providing life-changing opportunities to a diverse and inclusive academic community through more than 200 programs of study in 17 degree-granting colleges.
