Hospital Expands Access With Mobile Health Unit

MANSFIELD, TEX. – In areas with limited health care access, Texas Health Hospital Mansfield is meeting the health needs of local residents with a new mobile health unit.

The mobile facility provides services to residents of southeast Tarrant County (Texas’s third most populous county) and Johnson County (south of Fort Worth). The goal is to provide access to community members who may face barriers due to limited transportation or inadequate resources.

“The mobile health unit was created to serve the underserved,” said Jeffrey Meador, community outreach manager for mobile health services at Texas Health Hospital Mansfield. “Rather than having to travel far away for medical care, we come to their area and bring quality care to them.”

The mobile facility is staffed by a team of providers, including a physician, a family practice nurse practitioner, a registered nurse, various allied health professionals and volunteers. Patients ages 2 and up can receive a wide range of screenings, labs and immunizations at a low cost.
