SHHC's Mobile Medical Unit

| Squirrel Hill Health Center received funding through an American Reinvestment & Recovery Act grant administered through HRSA to build a mobile medical unit. The unit was completed in October 2010 and SHHC saw its first mobile unit patient on November 4, 2010. The mobile features two private exam rooms, a bathroom, and a waiting area. It is staffed by one of SHHC's physicians, a medical assistant, and a case manager.
SHHC takes the mobile to community agencies who work with individuals who face barriers to accessing regular primary. SHHC currently makes regular stops at Prospect Park (working with refugee families and the Prospect Park Family Support Center), POWER House, Hearing and Deaf Services, and Milestone, Inc. Patients seen on the mobile unit must become SHHC patients and must establish one of our doctors as their PCP. Patients are not required to have health insurance and many uninsured patients will qualify for a discount. Patients seen on the mobile unit can also have Medical Assistance, Medicare or private insurance.
If you would like to make an appointment to be seen on the mobile unit, or if you are interested in having SHHC bring its mobile unit to your organization, please contact our Program & Grants Manager, Lindsay Losasso at 412-904-5285. |
