Mobile Medical Unit pilot under way; staff plan outreach to boost utilization
Summary
County staff reported early MMU activity concentrated on sports physicals and sick visits, with most users aged 18–54; staff adjusted scheduling (now accepting appointments via Valley Connection) and plan back-to-school and senior-center outreach to increase utilization.
Mobile Medical Unit staff reported that the pilot opened during summer months and usage so far has skewed toward sports physicals, walk-ins for acute sick visits and scheduled appointments added through the Valley Connection call center. Early demographic tracking shows most users in the 18–54 age range with some seniors from nearby housing and senior-center neighborhoods.
To increase utilization, staff said they will intensify outreach as campuses reopen (back-to-school events), coordinate with athletic trainers for sports physicals, and work with nearby senior-center programs. The committee voted to receive the MMU pilot report and asked staff to return with utilization trends in a future update.
