In an effort to increase access to preventive health screenings, primary care and Gold Card registration services, the Harris County Hospital District operates two mobile clinics in the Houston area. Southwest Houston Mobile Unit was developed by the Harris County Hospital District, the Harris County Hospital District Foundation and several community partners interested in bringing health care to the medically underserved residents of Southwest Houston. Care Mobile was developed by the Harris County Hospital District, the McDonald s corporation and the Harris County Hospital District Foundation which were dedicated to bringing health care to the medically under-served residents of the Aldine area of Houston. Residents visiting the mobile clinics can receive medical check-ups including health screenings for diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, tuberculosis, vision and hearing.
Health educators are also on hand to promote the benefits of maintaining good health.
Other available services are well-woman screenings that may include Pap smear exams and referrals for mammography exams and information about the Hospital District s wide array of medical services.
