作为一个车轮上的医疗诊所,"健康驾驶 "让莱特社区健康中心能够在宾夕法尼亚州东北部的任何地方为病人提供治疗--从传统上服务不足的城市社区到农村地区。这辆 34 英尺长的车辆包括两个设备齐全的检查区,既可用于医疗保健服务,也可用于牙科服务。车上还配有轮椅升降机。自 2020 年底投入使用以来,"健康快车 "已多次被派往该地区的学校、老年生活中心、无家可归者收容所和其他社区聚集点。
The U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) provided a $372,000 grant that enabled The Wright Center to acquire and outfit the custom-built vehicle, which initially served to help populations of special concern during the COVID-19 pandemic by expanding access to coronavirus testing and vaccines. It also has been successfully used in support of HRSA’s “Catch Up to Get Ahead” vaccination campaign, visiting dozens of area school districts to provide children with immunizations required to attend class and recommended for avoiding potential community outbreaks of preventable illnesses, such as whooping cough and measles. Driving Better Health continues to crisscross the region, providing a range of services. Staffed by a multidisciplinary, bilingual primary care team, the vehicle helps to improve access to care by breaking down barriers that historically have prevented certain groups from getting the high-quality health care they deserve.
