Public Health unveils mobile clinic to serve rural communities (bakersfield.com)

Dana Brown (PACEs Connection Staff) 4/25/1811:04 PM

The gleaming, $330,000, 40-foot-long behemoth, which came by way of Ohio, boasts two exam rooms, an ADA-compliant bathroom and a sleek, contemporary design.

“This is an exciting new venture for public health,” Constantine said Tuesday while unveiling the new mobile clinic. “What is behind me this afternoon is more than a medical mobile clinic. This represents a significant shift in how Public Health responds to the community.”

The bus will serve as a mobile clinic for public health staff to take to rural outlying towns like Shafter, Lake Isabella, Ridgecrest, Mojave, Arvin, Lamont, Wasco and Taft to supplement existing brick-and-mortar facilities.

Services provided will include immunizations, tuberculosis testing and reproductive care services, among other things.
