Cleveland Clinic mobile unit visits Garfield Heights City Schools each Friday for student care
Summary
The Cleveland Clinic mobile medical unit visits Garfield Heights City Schools campuses every Friday, rotating among five buildings to provide vaccines, physicals and basic care; students must be registered and insurance information is collected, though an uninsured enrollment path is available.
A staff member from Garfield Heights City Schools announced that the Cleveland Clinic mobile medical unit visits the district’s campuses every Friday, rotating among five buildings to provide student health services.
The mobile unit offers vaccinations, physicals and basic treatment for minor injuries and common illnesses. "Each and every Friday in our district, the Cleveland Clinic mobile unit is available to our students, which rotates among 5 buildings on our campuses to try and to serve the needs of all of our students," the staff member said.
Families must register students before care is provided. The staff member said parents can register by phone, email or the website linked in the video description and that a Cleveland Clinic professional will follow up by phone to explain next steps. "Keep in mind that this is not a free service, so insurance information will be exchanged at the time of the follow-up phone call. And for those of you without insurance, there is a path forward for you as well, and you will be walked through the process when you do make that phone call," the staff member added.
The announcement did not specify costs, exact hours of operation, or which five buildings will be visited on particular dates. It also did not list the contact phone number, email address or website URL; those details were described as being in the video's description.
The district encouraged families to take advantage of the service for routine immunizations, sports physicals and treatment of minor ailments. "So let's take advantage of the Cleveland Clinic Mobile Med unit, which visits the Garfield High City Schools on Fridays each and every week to serve our students and their health care needs," the staff member said.
Parents and guardians seeking care for students should register through the contact methods noted in the announcement so the Cleveland Clinic can place follow-up calls and collect insurance information where applicable.
