UNIDAD MÓVIL
Mobile Health Unit
Our Mobile Unit serves as a crucial bridge to connect with Latines in high-traffic Latine communities and hard-to-reach areas across North Carolina. With a mission to increase accessibility to healthcare services, our unit offers general health exams, including measurements for weight, height, blood pressure, and BMI. In collaboration with agencies, we extend our services to include various resources available in the communities we visit. Moreover, we facilitate referrals to low-cost local services, ensuring that individuals receive the comprehensive care they need for a healthier and more informed lifestyle.
OUTREACH
Community Fairs & Events
We actively engage in or co-host health fairs and events, strategically reaching out to communities where they are most present. These events serve as dynamic platforms for us to provide valuable health information and resources, fostering a proactive approach to well-rounded healthcare. Additionally, our community health workers often visit small businesses, neighborhoods, schools, and other key locations to ensure that essential health information and resources are easily accessible throughout diverse community settings.
