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.
