Tens of thousands of Montgomery County residents – hailing from 100 countries and speaking 25 languages – lack health insurance. So Mobile Medical Care operates a network of seven low-cost health centers in fixed locations and on mobile vans. Created in collaboration with community partners and volunteer clinicians in the neighborhoods where patients live and work, the centers provide high quality medical care that is culturally sensitive and accessible. In addition to primary and preventive care, MobileMed also offers a weekly women’s clinic and two specialty clinics (Heart and Endocrine) in collaboration with NIH and Suburban Hospital. Patients receive free medications, referrals to exceptional pro-bono specialists, and donated diagnostic testing. Each year, MobileMed treats 4,000 patients through 15,000 medical and behavioral health visits. In its 50-year history, no patient has been turned away for inability to pay. Simply put, your support helps save lives.
