Sparrow News: Sparrow Mobile Health Clinic Returns to Deliver Care Directly to Rural Communities

Sparrow Health System’s innovative Mobile Health Clinic is back, expanding its free primary care services beyond Lansing and directly to patients in rural counties throughout Mid-Michigan.  Sparrow knows it can be difficult for some to access healthcare and that’s why we launched the Mobile Health Clinic, helping hundreds of people get basic care they otherwise wouldn’t have received, directly in their neighborhoods. In 2019, Sparrow turned a large bus into a health clinic on wheels, outfitting it with exam rooms and a waiting area. This year, their highly skilled physicians and caregivers are heading to counties all over the region.

At noon this recent Tuesday, July 12th they gathered at Edmond Senior Apartments, 225 S. Washington St., Charlotte, for a mobile clinic.

Part of Sparrow’s mission is to improve the health of the people in our communities by providing quality, compassionate care to everyone, every time.  In conjunction with that mission, the Sparrow Mobile Health Clinic is dedicated to providing care to those in our communities who lack access to healthcare through traditional avenues. Under the direction of the Population Health Service Organization (PHSO), the Mobile Health Clinic is used and requested often to provide healthcare in the community and highlight different Sparrow initiatives. The mobile clinic is entirely funded from the generosity of donors, on an annual basis, and the W3 Mobile Health Endowment.

If you have any questions please email them to: SparrowMobileHealthClinic@sparrow.org

If you would like to make an appointment, please call 517.364.8178.
