Mobile Health Unit
Enhancing Healthcare in Illinois
UI Health Mobile Health & Wellness Services’ mobile health unit is a 38-foot clinic on wheels, created to provide essential reproductive healthcare services in disadvantaged rural and urban areas. This initiative aims to improve female health by providing confidential, respectful, non-judgmental care in areas where healthcare is limited and less available.
Care provided in the Mobile Health Unit is delivered by experienced, patient-centric nurse practitioners and nurse-midwives from the University of Illinois Chicago College of Nursing.

Community Impact
UI Health Mobile Health & Wellness Services is dedicated to delivering care in rural areas with low access to reproductive healthcare. The mobile health unit will also offer practicum experience to advanced practice nursing students.
This will enhance healthcare delivery while also helping to train the next generation of much-needed providers, including nurse practitioners focused on family, pediatric, or women’s health, as well as nurse-midwives.
