Kola Project

Sometimes on foot, sometimes on bike, Dr. Ken McMillan, M.D., delivers the most basic of primary care to patients on the streets of Minneapolis.

As director of Medical Services for the Kola Program, which also provides some social services and mental health care, Dr. Ken does everything from patching up wounds, to ordering prescription refills, to treating sore feet, to screening for hypertension and diabetes, to dealing with the consequences of chronic alcoholism and living on the street.

In 2002, former Time Magazine photographer, Al Bonanno went on a visual tour of some of the scattered homeless camps with Dr. Ken McMillan of the Kola Program.  These images emerged from the tours and were created for AICDC to continue expanding homeless awareness.
