Mobile Health Program

The Roper St. Francis Healthcare Mobile Health Program brings care directly into the community, removing barriers and meeting people where they are. By partnering with local organizations and events, our mobile health team makes preventative screenings, education and connections to care accessible to everyone - right in their own neighborhoods.
