Throughout his career, Dr. Sidor has been passionate about integrating medical care with social services, addressing the multifaceted needs of our residents through collaborative efforts with interdisciplinary teams.

For Dr. Sidor, ensuring high-quality, person centered care for the people we serve is both hands-on and collaborative.

Homelessness is a multifaceted issue that requires a compassionate, systemic response.
One of the most rewarding aspects of this role is collaborating with a dedicated team that strives to make a significant impact for those facing complex challenges, says Dr. Sidor. Navigating systemic barriers and limitations on resources means there is always an opportunity for creative solutions.
Finding creative solutions means going beyond traditional service delivery. Dr. Sidor emphasizes not only meeting individuals’ needs, but the underlying conditions that contribute to homelessness with affordable housing, support services, and community involvement.
