Linn County Public Health Begins Using Mobile Health Clinic

Linn County Public Health is thrilled to announce the launch of the new Mobile Health Clinic. The Mobile Health Clinic enables various services to be offered throughout the county, such as vaccinations, sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing, and community outreach.

"The new Mobile Health Clinic is an exciting way for our staff to reach members of the community," said Dr. Pramod Dwivedi, Linn County Public Health Director. "Our clinic staff have been working hard on getting the Mobile Health Clinic implemented in the community, and it's been great to see the vehicle getting used and making a difference."

The Mobile Health Clinic is equipped with an exam room, wheelchair lift, bathroom, vaccination and medication cold storage, and supply storage. All the amenities in the vehicle will allow Linn County Public Health staff members the opportunity to provide services to members of the community at public sites, such as parks, schools, and churches. Linn County Public Health will work with partner agencies to bring services to the community with the Mobile Health Clinic.

If you see the Mobile Health Clinic out in the community, residents should know that it is Linn County Public Health, or a community partner, providing services to individuals. Depending upon the type of event being offered, residents may be able to walk up for a service, or they must pre-register for an event.

The Mobile Health Clinic is made possible by American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding from the Linn County Board of Supervisors.
