ABOUT DUFFY HEALTH CENTER
The Duffy Health Center began in 1994 as a volunteer clinic located in a broom closet of a local homeless shelter in Hyannis , MA Hyannis Cape Cod . Duffy is well-known as a welcoming health care home to medically complex individuals and provides one-stop access to services.
In February, 2001, we are looking forward to moving from three buildings to one beautiful new facility at

Duffy utilizes a model of integrated care – a ‘three-legged stool” in which medical, behavioral, and case management services are integrated, with onsite ‘wraparound services’ reduce barriers to access which vulnerable populations too often must face. Services are provided at our clinic sites, by street and shelter outreach, and via our Mobile Health Clinic. Our services begin with outreach – in the camps, streets, and homes, to connect to people, develop a trust relationship, and ultimately connect them to the services they want.
Last year Duffy staff cared for 2,598 homeless and at-risk clients through 23,227 visits. This visit rate is six times the rate for more traditional community health services and is a reflection of the intensity and level of services needed by our medically complex clients, many of whom have comorbidities (mental health, substance abuse, and other chronic medical illnesses). In every setting our trained, professional staff provide tools of empowerment so that individuals can reach levels of health and well-being -- enabling them to increase their self-sufficiency, attain and maintain housing, and achieve personal goals.
We reach our goals by: dedication to our clients...adherence to best-evidence practice...commitment to collaboration
The mission of the Duffy Health Center is to provide caring, comprehensive health care and support services to those who are homeless and at risk of homelessness on Cape Cod, and to be a catalyst for individual empowerment and community solutions to homelessness .
