VA Launches Mobile Medical Units to Increase Access to Health Care for Veterans Experiencing Homelessness | North Carolina Governor's Working Group [NCGWG]

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will deploy 25 mobile medical units across the country during the next six months to provide health care and support to homeless and at-risk Veterans.

The VA recently announced it will deploy 25 mobile medical units across the country during the next six months to provide health care and support to homeless and at-risk Veterans. The first MMU arrived August 3 at the VA Orlando Healthcare System, and the full deployment schedule for upcoming MMUs can be viewed here.

Mobile medical units are vans or trucks that move from one location to another to provide a private space for eligible veterans to meet with medical providers, including mental health clinicians, social workers, and other staff that provide primary care, women’s health, audiology, laboratory, and telehealth services to those who may not have access to a local VA medical center.
