DR. JIM WITHERS, CNN HERO: Street medicine is bringing medical care right to the homeless where they are, under the bridges and along the riverbanks, abandoned buildings. Safety net, anybody home? It's going to the people. Can you make a fist? That hurt? I've been walking the streets of Pittsburgh for 23 years to treat the homeless. When I started, I was actually really shocked how ill people were on the street. It was like going to a third world country. There were runaway kids, 85-year-olds, pregnant women, and they all had their own story. What hurts the most?</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This knee is so swollen.</s>WITHERS: Once you get to know the folks out there. I knew I had to keep going. Are you doing OK medically? And now we've managed to treat over 10,000 people. Did they put staples in or stitches? Infections, diabetes, cancers, the list goes on and on. I'm glad we saw you.</s>KOSIK: And if you know someone who should be a CNN hero, let us know at CNNHeroes.com. Thanks for watching.</s>BLACKWELL: We've got more ahead in the next hour of the CNN Newsroom. Let's turn it over to our colleague, Ana Cabrera in for Fred today.</s>ANA CABRERA: Fred is getting her first Mother's Day weekend off, she told me.</s>BLACKWELL: Well-deserved.</s>CABRERA: Indeed. Good to see you. Have a great rest of the weekend.
