Description

A prospective analysis to provide Community Health Center patients needing weekly medical care with housing accommodations within a fifteen (15) minute travel radius of treatment facilities within the scope of one mid-sized city. Housing capacity planning would be based upon aggregate medical needs within the geographic area, similar to manufacturer capacity planning for custom medical devices with extended delivery timeline requirements. Medical provider could prospectively request a housing unit upon appropriate diagnosis, similar to other anticipated medical equipment.
