Mobile Medical Clinics

Through a competitive proposal application the Regional Center for Border Health, Inc. was awarded by the Phoenix United Way back in December 2002 a mobile unit donated by Blue Cross Blue Shield. Along with mobile unit which is serving the rural communities throughout Western Arizona by sponsoring health fairs, immunization campaigns, and health career promotion, the Regional Center for Border Health, Inc. is more proud to announce that since June 2015 a new Mobile Clinic for Primary Care services that will benefit more residents in the Yuma County area was presented.

The unit has a waiting room and an area to perform screenings such as Glucose, Cholesterol and Blood Pressure. Also there is a kitchenette and a restroom for the patients, as well as a private area for gynecological exams, with its own restroom.

Nurse Practitioners and Medical staff, along with Family Care Coordinators provide medical exams in the Nutrition Center in Yuma County trough the mobile health unit better known as the Healthy Buzz. And now with the new Mobile Clinic we have more chance to reach the community at Yuma County Crossroads Mission, Yuma Treatment Center among others.

The exams include: blood pressure, glucose, height, weight and education counseling.

Both mobile health units are now serving the rural communities throughout Western Arizona. Sponsor:

• Health fairs
• Immunization campaigns
• Health career promotion
• Asthma Camps

Both units allow us to access areas in which healthcare is limited because of issues of distance and lack of transportation.

The Health Buzz and the Mobile Clinic for Primary Care services are tasked with presenting and promoting programs like Paso a Paso, Quality of Care, School Health Index and the Health Career Clubs.
