El Proyecto del Barrios Mobile Clinic has proven uniquely effective at extending the organization outreach efforts throughout the community.
The mobile clinic is fully licensed and consists of a primary health care team, including a physician assistant, registered nurse and medical assistant.
The team delivers primary health care services at home-based childcare sites, childcare centers, Head Start sites and a variety of other locations.
The mobile clinic will also offer dental screenings and childrens dental services, which will assure improved dental access to children who previously had virtually no access to affordable dental care services.

Many communities have clinics that charge little or nothing for dental care. They are usually run by nonprofits, community health centers, dental schools and local health departments, and they often rely on grants, donations and public funding. Some serve everyone on a sliding fee scale, while others focus on children, seniors or people without insurance. Every clinic sets its own rules, so call ahead and ask what you qualify for.
