Mobile Healthcare Advocacy and Innovation

In 2007 I was honored to collaborate with Jennifer Bennet (The Family Van, Boston), Dr. Nancy Oriol (Harvard Medical School), and Dr. Anthony Vavasis (Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, NY) in creating and launching the Mobile Health Map. The goal of this innovative tool was to evaluate and demonstrate the impact of mobile clinics, prove the vital role mobile clinics play in reaching underserved populations nationwide, and advocate for a strong mobile healthcare sector. This project continues today as nearly 1000 mobile clinics have joined the online FREE virtual Map. Following is a recent communications from the Mobile Health Map, inviting your organization to join the many mobile clinic programs across the U.S. in making the Case for Mobile.

Please contact me if I can be of any assistance as your organization explores and expands its community

outreach with the deployment of mobile clinics.

Warm regards,

Mobile Health Map calls on healthcare leaders and organizations to explore how mobile clinics can advance population and patient health goals while reconciling the business pressure that healthcare organizations face. Read The Case For Mobile.

“In recent years, many local and state governments have declared racism a public health crisis and renewed their commitments to health equity. These declarations must be accompanied by long-term funding commitments and policy changes."

This report explores multiple ways mobile clinics bolster business objectives of health care organizations including those related to organizational culture, business strategy, budget, and health equity. They present a conceptual framework that demonstrates how these factors, supported by community engagement and data, come together to form a business case for mobile health care.
