The Hamilton Social Medicine Response Team is an organization of health providers and community organizers working to integrate clinical practice, critical analysis and political action. We are an interdisciplinary outreach team providing community-centred care to people for whom conventional health service models present too many barriers to access. We believe that as health care providers we must recognize and take responsibility for our own historical and contemporary roles in systems of oppression. We work to advance the idea and practice that health is inherently political and healthcare providers must play a role in bringing about change in the social and material conditions which determine health.Â
