Mobile clinics don’t just expand access, they deliver high-quality care, and the sector needs a clear, shared way to define and measure it.

Our newly published research in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH MDPI) spotlights the Public Health Quality Tool (PHQTool), a practical, evidence-based approach to quality improvement built specifically for mobile clinics.

The PHQTool is grounded in a nationally recognized public health quality framework developed by leading experts, including Peggy Honore, former Director of the Public Health System, Finance and Quality Program, and
Dr. Howard K. Koh, Assistant Secretary for Health, both at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and Donald Berwick, former Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Developed with frontline partners nationwide, the PHQTool helps mobile care teams assess their work, identify priorities, and strengthen outreach, efficiency, and equity-driven service delivery, without losing what makes mobile care responsive and community-centered.

As care increasingly moves beyond clinic walls, proving quality in mobile settings is essential. This research shows that mobility and rigorous quality improvement can coexist, and that mobile clinics can meet high standards of accountability without adopting hospital-centric models that don’t fit their reality.

This weekend, winter was impossible to ignore. A powerful storm and brutal cold swept across 40 states nationwide.

Moments like this underscore the essential role mobile clinics and street outreach teams play year-round in caring for the nation’s unhoused communities.

They bring medical services directly to people outside, check for frostbite and hypothermia, and offer warmth, human connection, and care grounded in dignity and respect.

Right now, 448 mobile clinics on our are doing this critical work, meeting people where they are when conditions are at their harshest.

We want to highlight just a few:

❤️ The Night Ministry (Chicago), reaching people on the streets and celebrating 50 years of service.

❤️ CHAS Health (Washington), delivering essential care during dangerous winter conditions.

❤️ MaineHealth’s CONNECT Outreach Van (Maine), providing low-barrier care to people experiencing homelessness with dignity and respect.

This is how mobile care shows up for people when they need it most.

Mobile health programs are built on relationships. 🤗

Stakeholder mapping is a simple way to understand who supports your work, who helps shape decisions, and who can amplify your impact. It gives you a clearer picture of where trust already exists and where deeper connection could make a difference.

Our new blog explains why stakeholder mapping matters, and our free worksheet walks you through how to do it step by step. ❤️

🚐 Mobile clinics are one of the most efficient ways to break down barriers to healthcare. But they need steady funding to stay on the road.

📌 On average, annual operating costs are $550,000. Costs vary widely, from thousands to several million dollars per year, depending on services and how often clinics operate.

According to our data, mobile clinics are funded through a mix of funding sources:

💛 Philanthropy 49%

🏥 Insurance reimbursement 45%

🇺🇸 Federal grants and contracts 43%

🏛️ State funding 41%

💳 Patient payments 36%

🏢 Parent organization support 28%

✨ Other sources 22%

In fact, 73% of mobile clinics rely on more than one funding source to stay operational.

“Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhuman.” — Martin Luther King Jr.

That belief has guided our work from the very beginning.

The Family Van — our mobile clinic in Boston, now celebrating 34 years — was where it all began.

Week after week, it showed that bringing care directly into communities builds trust, improves health, and reaches people too often left out of traditional systems.

Mobile Health Map was created to carry that lesson forward, helping mobile clinics nationwide evaluate their impact and share their story.

From one van in Boston to our national work, we’re guided by one belief: everyone deserves access to care.

How do Tribal communities get care when distance, underfunding, and historical barriers stand in the way? Mobile clinics are helping to answer that question.

Here are three must-read reports and articles that explore the challenges, highlight solutions, and show why mobile care matters:

1️⃣ Rural Tribal Maternal Health Report – Senator Ben Ray Luján’s office
Why it’s a MUST-READ: This federal brief examines maternal health challenges in rural Tribal communities from limited prenatal care to isolation and systemic barriers. The report From Barriers to Bridges highlights mobile clinics as a practical way to reach pregnant and postpartum patients who might otherwise go without care. (Contributors include Kait Guild from our team.) Read it here: https://www.lujan.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/lujan-convenes-experts-to-create-roadmap-for-native-maternal-health-solutions/

2️⃣ The Rural Health Transformation Program — Tribal Health
Why it’s a MUST-READ: This article explains the $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program and how it addresses systemic gaps in rural and Tribal health including hospital closures, provider shortages, transportation barriers, and broadband limitations. Read it here: https://tribalhealth.com/the-rural-health-transformation-program/

3️⃣ Our 2025 Mobile Clinics Landscape Report (yes, shameless plug)
Why it’s a MUST-READ: Features a case study from the Fort Defiance Indian Hospital Board, Inc.'s*(Tséhootsooí Medical Center) mobile program on the Navajo Nation — showing how mobile clinics expand access, reduce ER visits, and deliver measurable impact where care is hardest to reach. Concrete evidence of mobile care overcoming long-standing barriers in Tribal health. Read it here: https://www.mobilehealthmap.org/2025-mobile-health-landscape-report/

Could mobile clinics be the bridge that connects Tribal communities to consistent, culturally grounded care? (We believe so!)

How does your mobile clinic staff its team to meet community needs? 🚐

Mobile clinics deliver the right care, in the right place, with the right team. They do this by building staffing around the specific needs of each community, not a one-size-fits-all model. Teams may include:

❤️ Physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants

❤️ Dentists and counselors

❤️ Social workers and patient navigators

❤️ Students and volunteers

❤️ Care coordinators and community health workers

Many team members come from the neighborhoods they serve, which builds trust, strengthens relationships, and improves engagement in care. This approach demonstrates that accessible, effective healthcare depends on teams designed for the community, not the system.

We’d love to hear what works for your community!

Who operates mobile clinics and how does that affect access to care?

Nonprofits, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), hospitals, public health departments, and universities all play an integral role.

Can you guess which type of organization has grown 40% since 2019?

🎓🚐 Could mobile clinics be the best classroom for tomorrow’s healthcare leaders? (We believe so!)

Through hands-on training on mobile clinics, students gain interdisciplinary experience, cultural humility, and real-world problem-solving skills. These abilities strengthen healthcare systems everywhere.

In Seattle, University of Washington’s Harborview Mobile Health Outreach trains medical, nursing, pharmacy, and social work students while serving people experiencing homelessness. In 2024 alone, 260 students learned to build trust, collaborate across disciplines, and meet patients where they are.

This is mobile healthcare as a classroom and as a catalyst for better care. ❤️

⁉️ Who do mobile clinics reach, and why does it matter? ⁉️ Mobile clinics are reaching people most often missed by traditional healthcare. When barriers like cost, distance, and time stand in the way, mobile clinics step in by showing up in communities, listening first, and adapting care to local priorities.

➡️ The result is healthcare that’s personal, trusted, and deeply connected.

Data from our Impact Tracker shows who these clinics reach:
✅ 90% serve low-income communities
✅ 84% care for people without insurance
✅ 74% reach people experiencing homelessness
✅ 47% serve veterans and military families
✅ 55% reach LGBTQIA+ patients
✅ 32% serve agricultural workers

This is what happens when care comes to the community.
