What are Mobile Health Units?

Mobile Health Units (MHUs) are specially equipped vehicles designed to deliver essential public health services to communities. The MHUs will play a crucial role in reducing health disparities by bringing public health services to areas without these services and improving overall public health outcomes. These units serve as mobile clinics, offering a range of essential public health services such as vaccinations, family planning, STD testing and treatment, outbreak response, and disease surveillance.

DPH Goals

• Increase access to health care services in remote areas without these services.
• Improve public health outcomes by offering preventive care and education.
• Ensure more seamless integration with existing health care infrastructure.
• Foster the growth of new partnerships in our communities.

Upcoming Events

Upcoming events will be added soon, so please check back. Services will be walk-in only; no appointments needed.
