Janelle Goetcheus, physician and healer to D.C.’s homeless, dies at 84 – msn/WaPost

“Dr. Goetcheus, a physician, had spent a decade as a family doctor in her native Indiana but felt called to take her medical knowledge where it was needed more. When friends in Washington brought her to Jubilee Housing, a low-income housing project in the city’s Adams Morgan neighborhood, she saw the dearth of medical care available to the poor and decided that her place was not in Pakistan, but in the capital of the United States.”
