VA to obtain traveling med unit

BILOXI, Miss. - The Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System is (GCVHCS) scheduled to receive a new resource in a 30-foot Medical Mobile Unit on July 9 that is designed to deliver primary care and other services to enrolled veterans with limited access to a VA center. The unit is outfitted with a wheelchair lift, storage space for primary care medical equipment, a generator, sink, laboratory area and refrigerator. The mobile unit will increase the VA’s ability to providing health care for \veterans and other beneficiaries who are unable to travel to facilities for necessary, primary care appointments. The mobile unit will be available later this summer to the Biloxi VA center, Community-Based Outpatient Clinics in Mobile, Ala., and NW Florida will also be able to use the unit. The Biloxi, Mobile, Pensacola, Eglin and Panama City VA Clinics are all part of the GCVHCS that provides medical outpatient services to more than 77,000 Gulf Coast veterans. (Source: WLOX 07/07/21)
