Mobile Medical Care (mobilemedicalcare.org) provides primary health care for 4,700 low-income uninsured and underinsured Montgomery County residents annually. MobileMed’s commitment to health care accessibility is achieved through multiple clinic locations, outreach in collaboration with faith-based and ethnic organizations, and a policy of never turning anyone away because of the inability to pay. COVID-19 response includes telehealth, remote patient monitoring and curbside services. New programs include pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention. Staff and volunteer clinicians deliver linguistically and culturally sensitive care, integrated behavioral health and wraparound support.
