HOMETOWN HEROES: Philadelphia outreach worker, nurse practitioner
The used needles tossed onto the street in Philadelphia's Kensington section are like a minefield for Kara Cohen and Sam Santiago getting out of their Project HOME car.
The type of outreach they're doing can't be put on hold during a public health pandemic because they're in the middle of another battle.
"Not much has changed for them. It's still business as usual. They still have to meet all their needs, they still have to get their food, they still have to find a way to survive," said Cohen, a nurse practitioner.
