Mobile Health

PhilosophyWe believe In making healthcare available to the community we serve

by removing geographic, transportation, financial and cultural barriers to service.

Lack of insurance or inability to pay should not be a barrier to obtaining screenings, immunizations, wellness checks or general medical care.

Chronic diseases can be prevented with available low or no-cost screenings.

Collaboration with Munson Healthcare will provide for seamless patient care with technology, resources, referrals and diagnostic services for our clients.

All nursing staff shall practice according to standards of practice using evidenced based care and while advocating for patient health and wellness.
