What is the Mobile Unit?

The Mobile Primary Care Clinic is a healthcare initiative that functions as a movable medical center, which takes essential primary care services to various locations, specifically targeting regions where access to healthcare facilities might be challenging. This mobile unit is part of a broader effort by Wheeling Health Right to deliver healthcare to underserved communities, ensuring that even those living in remote or less accessible areas have the opportunity to receive quality medical attention. The clinic operates on a scheduled basis, traveling to predetermined sites within West Virginia, including Brooke, Ohio, Marshall, and Wetzel Counties, providing a dependable healthcare option for residents.

The mobile clinic is fully staffed with qualified medical professionals, including certified nurse practitioners, nurses, a physician, and social services support staff. They offer a range of services that one would expect from a primary care provider, such as preventive care, disease management, treatment for various health conditions, vaccinations, and health education. Additionally, they provide referrals to specialists and physical therapy, testing and treatment for STDs, and support group connections, encompassing a holistic approach to patient health and well-being.
