As the U.S. population ages, how we deliver care to older adults will matter more than ever. But for many seniors in rural communities, getting care can mean long drives, limited transportation, and difficulty finding a provider. The consequences can reach beyond health, affecting a person’s ability to remain independent and age well.

But what if health care were designed around the needs of older adults, not the other way around?

MobileMoc at the The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is putting that idea into practice. The mobile health program brings primary and preventive care to familiar community settings, with an approach centered on four priorities: what matters to each person, medication, mental well-being and cognition, and mobility.

In a new publication in nejm catalyst, the MobileMOC team shares early results and lessons from implementing the model, with insights for other communities working to make age-friendly care more accessible.

What happens when communities work together to bring healthcare to people who might otherwise go without?

In Florida’s Panhandle, a five-year, $46 million Rural Health Transformation Program investment is bringing more than a dozen organizations together to expand access to care across 10 counties.

➡️ And mobile healthcare is a key part of that effort! Mobile health units will bring primary care, screenings and referrals directly into rural communities, reducing the need for residents to travel 50 or 60 miles to reach a provider.

The initiative also brings together partners across medical care, behavioral health, emergency medical services (EMS), and more. By connecting these efforts, the organizations are working toward a more coordinated approach to rural healthcare, one that meets people where they are and connects them to the services they need.

It’s a powerful example of how mobile clinics can be part of a broader community-based healthcare network, working alongside other providers to close gaps in access. ❤️

Our team went to Kansas City to connect with the people meeting the moment in mobile health!

From the Driving Health Campaign convening, where our Executive Director, Mary Kathryn Fallon joined mobile health leaders to discuss the sector’s growth and future, to the Mobile Healthcare Association annual conference, where our team led five presentations on topics ranging from quality and sustainability to partnerships, we spent the weekend with leaders and teams from across the country who are strengthening healthcare in their communities.

We know the power of mobile health. Kansas City gave us the chance to see it in action.

❤️ Mobile health teams aren’t just filling gaps in the healthcare system. They’re helping change how care is delivered and strengthening the system itself. ❤️

Here’s what that looks like on the ground:

➡️ In Boston, Boston Medical Center (BMC)’s Curbside Care is reshaping maternal and newborn care by bringing it directly to families’ homes. By meeting families where they are, the team is building continuity of care before and after delivery and connecting families with BMC and community resources.

➡️ Texas A&M University Health Science Center’s Mobile Clinic is tackling two challenges at once: rural access to care and the rural healthcare workforce. The program brings nurse practitioner-led primary care to rural communities while giving nursing students hands-on experience in those same communities.

➡️ In Long Island, NY, Stony Brook Medicine’s mobile team recognized that bringing a mammography van into a community doesn’t solve every access barrier. Patients still need a way to get there. Through a grant-funded program, the team provides Uber Health rides to uninsured and underinsured patients.

➡️ Le Bonheur Children's Hospital’s mobile clinic turned school districts into a gateway to care, bringing pediatric services directly into rural West Tennessee schools. Through those partnerships, the program connects students with primary, behavioral and specialty care in places where children already are.

➡️ AltaMed Health Services showed the agility of mobile health when a community needed help fast. After a warehouse fire in Boyle Heights, the team brought respiratory assessments, oxygen checks, mental health support and care navigation directly to affected residents. Already embedded in the community, the team could adapt quickly and respond where help was needed.

This is mobile health leadership in action: bringing care closer, building partnerships, responding to community needs and finding new ways to make the healthcare system work better for the people it serves.

We left Kansas City inspired by the people leading this work and by what they’re creating for the future of care.

PS. If you attended the conference, we’d love to hear who you connected with and what ideas or approaches stood out to you! 👇

You know you work at Mobile Health Map when you can’t pass a mobile clinic without stopping! ❤️

This summer:

đź“· 1: While on vacation in California, Michael Lawler stopped by Altura Centers for Health for a visit.

đź“· 2: Kait Guild came across a mobile clinic while traveling in southern Portugal.

đź“· 3-6: And our Co-Director at The Family Van, Rainelle Walker-White, spotted them all across Boston, which is extra special for us. We know firsthand how much mobile clinics can mean to the communities they serve, and seeing them out in our own city is always a little reminder of why this work matters.

For our team, these unexpected sightings are a fun reminder that mobile health is happening in communities everywhere. ❤️

With the school year underway, mobile clinics are heading into schools, too!

Across the country, mobile health programs are partnering with schools to bring healthcare directly to students, from primary care and preventive services to behavioral and mental health support.

The approach is straightforward: Instead of asking families to fit another appointment into an already crowded day, bring care to a place students already are.

We’re seeing this model take shape in communities across the country:
❤️ Cincinnati Children's Mobile Care Center is partnering with two Ohio high schools to provide primary care during the school day.

❤️ All Care Health Center’s Mobile Medical Clinic provides primary medical care at six school campuses in Iowa and has recently expanded access to school-based behavioral health services.

❤️ Metro Community Health Center’s Heals on Wheels partners with the Wilkinsburg School District in Pennsylvania to provide comprehensive healthcare, preventive services, state-mandated screenings, and mental health support.

The partnerships vary. The idea is consistent: bring care closer to where young people already are.

As schools become an increasingly important setting for healthcare delivery, mobile clinics are showing what can happen when healthcare providers and schools work together. ❤️

How can states use Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) funding to show impact from day one?

In rural Oregon, Dr. Rebecca Chown, OD, FAAO of Envision EyeCare for All offers one example.

Founded in 2023, Dr. Chown has built a strong mobile eye care program through community partnerships, demonstrating the need for rural eye care and showing what the model could achieve.

Now, RHTP funding is helping her bring that work to more rural communities by:

âś… Expanding access to comprehensive eye exams and glasses

âś… Training other providers to expand diabetic eye screening capacity

âś… Strengthening connections with rural healthcare providers, schools, and senior centers

The lesson for states is important: RHTP funding can do more than launch new programs. It can help scale and sustain community-rooted models that already have the partnerships, experience, and track record to turn funding into care.

How could your state use RHTP funding to scale mobile health models that have already built trust, partnerships, and a track record of impact?

What happens when a mobile clinic brings behavioral health care to students instead of asking students to come to care?

More young people can access care.

At Memorial Hospital in Carthage, IL, behavioral health services are delivered directly at schools — making it easier for children and teens to access care where they already are.

The difference is striking:

➡️ 90% attendance with the mobile behavioral health unit

compared with

➡️ 62% attendance for regular clinic-based counseling.

That’s a powerful reminder that where care is delivered can make a difference in whether young people are able to receive it.

And the program is growing.

What began as one mobile unit serving 7 schools has expanded to two units serving 13 schools, while the behavioral health team has grown from one provider to three.

For young people experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and other behavioral health needs, bringing care directly to schools can help remove barriers, connect students with support and make it easier to get the care they need.

📖 Read the full article to see how Memorial Medical Clinic Mobile is expanding behavioral health access for young people — and what its experience can teach us about the power of mobile care.
