Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer in the United States — and early detection could save tens of thousands of lives.

According to a recent article from The New York Times, lung cancer kills nearly 125,000 people every year, more than breast, colorectal, and cervical cancers combined. A recent study shows that if everyone eligible got screened, we could prevent 62,000 deaths in just five years — yet only 18% of eligible adults receive screening.

The screening itself is a simple CT scan that can catch cancer early, when the five-year survival rate is about 60%. When lung cancer is found late, survival drops to less than 10%.

❤️ Mobile clinics are part of the solution. ❤️ Programs such as Indiana University Health, OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center (Oklahoma), and LUCAS at West Virginia University — along with many others — play a vital role in helping people learn about lung cancer screening and get connected to the care they need.

🫁 Early detection saves lives. And mobile clinics help make that possible.

How can more mobile clinics bring lifesaving lung cancer screenings to communities across the nation?

Today is , and this year, there’s real momentum.

Across rural America, access to care has been shrinking for far too long. Fewer hospitals. Long drives for basic services. Limited transportation. Workforce shortages. Rising chronic disease. These gaps make it harder for millions of people to get the care they need.

But this month, something remarkable happened.

At least 35 states — from Alabama to Washington — prioritized mobile healthcare in their applications to the new $50B Rural Health Transformation Program.

States are seizing a historic opportunity to strengthen rural healthcare by investing in care models that meet people where they are.

Why this matters:

➡️ Mobile clinics close transportation gaps

➡️ Telehealth and mobile care expand access to preventive and chronic care

➡️ Rural health systems gain flexibility and financial stability

➡️ Communities can receive care that’s local, trusted, and culturally rooted

As the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services prepares to select awardees, this sector-wide commitment affirms a clear shift: States are recognizing that to improve outcomes, care must go to the community, not the other way around.

On Rural Health Day, that’s a powerful message. Innovation belongs in every ZIP code, and mobile healthcare is helping make that possible.

⭐ This Veterans Day, we honor those who served — and the mobile clinics that serve them every day. ⭐

Our shows 288 mobile clinics dedicated to caring for Veterans — meeting them with compassion, dignity, and trust wherever they are. These teams bring care directly to shelters, parking lots, and community centers, offering everything from blood draws and vaccines to prescriptions, food, and hygiene kits.

Take, for example, the George E. Wahlen VA Medical Center Homeless Program in Utah. Every Friday morning, their van parks outside shelters to care for Veterans experiencing homelessness.

For 80-year-old Navy Veteran Tom Morrison, that care has been a lifeline:

“When the van comes around, it helps me a lot. Every month or so, they check my health. For the future, that’s good for me.”

Mobile clinics like this one remind us that health care can — and should — go wherever people need it most.

❤️ Thank you to all who served, and to the dedicated teams on the road caring for them.

Stories like this one remind us why mobile care matters.

A client walked into our mobile clinic, The Family Van, feeling lightheaded.

During his screening, we found his blood pressure was dangerously high.

Our team urged him to get urgent care right away — and he did.

Before we even had the chance to follow up, he returned just to say thank you.

❤️ Mobile clinics bring life-saving screenings and support directly to where people live — preventing emergencies before they happen. ❤️

How many lives could change — even be saved — if more people had care like this right where they live?

🚐✨ Innovation on wheels: mobile clinics powered by AI

Mobile mammography clinics are bringing hope and care directly to communities, catching breast cancer early, easing the burden of healthcare, and saving lives every day.

Now, with AI-powered 3D mammography, Sutter Health is taking that mission further, combining the reach of mobile health with the intelligence of AI.

This isn’t just a screening van, it’s a roving innovation hub. Integrating AI means radiologists can detect cancer earlier, reduce false positives, and identify high-risk patients faster, all while keeping care accessible to those who need it most.

A new report from Georgetown University’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms analyzed more than 160 studies and found that mobile health programs are improving access, outcomes, and efficiency across the U.S.

From primary care and vision services to behavioral health, “doctor’s offices on wheels” are helping close critical access gaps, reduce costs, and train a more culturally competent healthcare workforce.

ICYMI! A few weeks ago, Mobile Health Map and the Mobile Healthcare Association co-hosted a community conversation on making sure mobile clinics are seen and supported by decision-makers, and it was full of practical, powerful tips. Here are a few highlights:

➡️ Have your impact ready to share. Brie Lowry Cox from GRC Advising emphasized the importance of keeping a few key data points on hand (patients served, screenings completed, outcomes improved) and packaging them into a simple one-pager you can quickly share with policymakers, funders, and partners. 📌 Shameless plug: use our online tools to create a dashboard that shows your impact on lives and savings!

➡️ Start local. Reach out to community leaders and policymakers in your state and invite them to visit your mobile clinic. A visit in the community makes a stronger impression than any report.

➡️ Look ahead. If your mobile clinic is serving rural communities, learn how to have a voice in the upcoming Rural Health Transformation Program. Driving Health Forward has drafted a letter template you can send to your governor. Download here: https://www.drivinghealthforward.org/rhtp-funding-for-mobile-health
