Montgomery County launches mobile health clinic with wide-ranging services

Montgomery County's mobile health clinic is officially open for business, marking a significant step in expanding healthcare access for residents. The clinic, which had its ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 29, 2025, is now operational in multiple locations, including Poolesville and Wheaton, and is set to visit various county service consolidation hubs monthly.

The mobile clinic offers a wide range of services aimed at improving community health. These include routine health exams, STI and HIV testing, flu vaccinations, and mental health screenings for conditions such as anxiety and depression. The clinic also provides dental screenings and connects patients to essential social services, such as Medicaid reactivation.

"This mobile health clinic is designed to be a connector in the community," said a representative during the meeting. The goal is to ensure that residents receive immediate care and are linked to ongoing primary care services through local clinics.

In addition to the mobile clinic update, the council also discussed substance use issues in the county, with further details expected from the acting manager for prevention and harm reduction services, Ben Stevenson. The meeting highlighted the county's commitment to addressing health disparities and enhancing the overall well-being of its residents.
