General Info

Harborview's Medical Respite Program (Edward Thomas House Medical Respite) is a unique harm reduction program that provides recuperative care to people experiencing homelessness who are too sick to return to the shelter or streets, but do not require a hospital level of care. Medical Respite is operated by Harborview Medical Center. Harborview Medical Center is owned by King County, governed by a county-appointed board of trustees and managed under contract by the University of Washington.
