Medicine On The Move
Mobile Health Care Program
Medicine on the Move is a mobile health program under the Rural and Community Engagement Division to learn and mitigate the barriers communities have in improving health outcomes. This is an initiative of Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in partnership with the Permian Strategic Partnership and the Caring Foundation of Texas. The program features two mobile units that expand access to quality affordable healthcare to the people throughout the Permian Basin.
Medicine on the Move is engaged in developing trusting connections with people, schools, and community organizations by participating in fairs and regional events, health promotion outreach, providing health access points, and community clinical linkage. These interactions also give TTUHSC students and residents hands-on experience with patients and a deeper understanding of rural needs and the impact of socioeconomic factors related to health.
The program has energized the TTUHSC community to volunteer and piqued interest in community health programs. Through networking, Medicine on the Move is developing a model for addressing health disparities and engaging communities in West Texas.
