Mobile Care Center Improves Access to High-Quality Care
For some families, transportation can be a barrier to receiving healthcare. That’s why we take our world-class care directly to where children live, attend school and play. Cincinnati Children’s Mobile Care Center provides the right care at the right place by the right team.
The 38-foot-long Mobile Care Center vehicle is equipped to offer services related to:
- pediatric cardiology
- allergy and immunology
- audiology
- endocrinology
- dermatology
- sports medicine
- adolescent medicine
Each month, the Mobile Care Center visits numerous urban, suburban and rural locations across Greater Cincinnati. It also provides screenings during health fairs.
“Our mission is to have our Mobile Care Center out in communities to increase access for families that might have difficulty traveling to our locations,” says Becky Taylor, operations manager. “This innovative way to deliver care to our communities builds trust and offers convenience and ease of access for our patients to achieve better outcomes.”
In one specialty the Mobile Care Center is truly unique: it’s the only pediatric dermatology mobile clinic in the world. Advanced practice providers Kelly Harris and Laura Trueman have seen more 1,657 patients at the three schools where they offer dermatology services.
The handicap-accessible Mobile Care Center features two private exam rooms, medical and diagnostic testing equipment for select services, and laboratory testing capabilities. It also enables medical providers to securely access the health care records of patients who have been seen at one of our hospitals or other locations. Mobile Care Center patients receive the same high-quality care delivered by the same providers at those other locations.
One Adams County family shared that the Mobile Care Center reduced travel time by more than 20 minutes each way and removed the stress of traveling into the city. They experienced the warm, welcoming, convenient environment that the Mobile Care Center was designed to provide.
