mobile clinics

Medical vans touring

Mobile clinics are healthcare facilities housed in vehicles—typically vans, buses, or trucks—that travel to underserved communities.

They bring medical services directly to populations with limited access to traditional healthcare: rural areas, homeless encampments, disaster zones.

The mobile clinic visits the neighborhood every Tuesday.

Services range from basic checkups and vaccinations to dental care and mental health screening.
