Mercy Care Mobile locations
Mobility allows Mercy Care to proactively address physical and
mental health issues in populations that are overlooked. Since 79
percent of Mercy Care’s patients have no insurance and little to
no income, it’s a population that benefits greatly from accessing
integrated primary care and behavioral health where they are—in
a shelter, living on the street or receiving services in one of
our clinics.
Mercy Care’s mobile team goes out each weekday to provide
primary care, behavioral health and screenings (breast and
cervical cancer, HIV, TB and general health). The rolling clinic visits
shelters, churches and other organizations that serve the poor
and homeless. Three times a month Mercy Care also provides
mammograms on a mobile coach at two locations and as often as
possible at health fairs. With a fleet of two coaches (clinics), two
outreach shuttles, eight vans and five cars, Mercy Care can have as
many as 10 vehicles on Atlanta’s streets for patient outreach on any
given weekday.
In 2017, our Mobile team worked
in the five locations meeting the
community’s needs through:
1,518
primary care visits
313
behavioral health visits
