mobyinside.pngFor more than forty years MobileMed has been committed to a community-based service delivery model that encourages collaboration with local stakeholders.  While all of MobileMed’s clinics subscribe to standard MobileMed protocol, each clinic also reflects the unique character of the patients and communities it serves.  This empowers communities to develop clinics – with MobileMed’s assistance – that are truly responsive to local needs.  Using this model, MobileMed has organized clinics to respond to the county’s African-American, Asian, Ethiopian, Haitian, Hispanic, Mid-Eastern and West African populations.  All clinics, regardless of their location, targeted population or collaborating partners, are open to the general community.

Additionally, MobileMed is an active member of many community-based coalitions and provider groups, specifically those that address the needs of the homeless, individual ethnic populations and/or targeted communities.  Our participation in these groups enables us to remain informed and responsive to the needs of specific populations.  To be certain that our programs and procedures meet the community’s needs, we seek to recruit our staff and volunteers from those areas in which we serve.

Among our many partners, MobileMed collaborates with the following community-based groups: CASA de Maryland, Chinese Culture and Community Service Center, Korean Community Service Center, L’Accueil-Marie-de-L’Incanation (L’A.M.I.), Communitiy Ministries of Rockville, Georgetown Center for Trauma and the Community and the Upcounty Network of Providers.  In addition, MobileMed is an active member of Community HealthLink, Health Care or the Homeless, Gaithersburg Coaltion of Providers, Montgomery County collation for the Homeless and The Rockville Caregivers Coalition.

Problem Tooth Leads To Help For Other Ailments
thumb_photo1-bg.jpgBrian, 41, recently came to one of MobileMed's new homeless clinics complaining of a severe toothache. He had not seen a doctor in several years. Focusing on the acute condition, the provider connected Brian with a dentist through Montgomery County's Oral Health Initiative. After Brian's abscessed tooth was extracted, he returned to MobileMed for further assessments and screenings. Diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes, he is currently under our care for his chronic conditions and is comfortable with his medical team.
 
We Are Growing

19299390.jpgMobileMed’s  Women’s  Health Initiative has given birth to the MobileMed Women’s Health Center. This recently opened clinic located in our Bethesda headquarters is uniquely staffed and structured to meet the special needs of a diverse population of female patients.

The  recently created position of Clinic Support Services Coordinator reflects the importance MobileMed places on efficient service that meets the highest standards of quality and productivity.

With the assistance of our many community partners, MobileMed now offers translation services and patient materials in Spanish, Chinese, Korean, French, and Farsi. In addition more than 70% of MobileMed clinical staff and numerous volunteers speak more than one language. All staff are proficient at using the language line phone translation service at all of our clinic locations. Staff or volunteers who speak the native language of the patients are available at all of our clinic locations.

We continue to provide free flu, pneumovax, and tetanus vaccinations at our clinics and homeless shelters to record numbers of patients.
