Sparrow Hospital Has A Mobile Clinic Offering Free Health Care Services

Sparrow is the only hospital in the Lower Peninsula with an active mobile clinic program offering a variety of health care services to the public.  Its schedule is posted on a Sparrow web site, and the public can request visits on a subsidiary web site.

Television station WILX ran a short video on it yesterday:

Sparrow’s clinic on wheels makes a stop at St. Mary St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Carson City

CARSON CITY, Mich. (WILX) -It’s the only of its kind in the Mid-Michigan area, helping people with healthcare on the road.

Residents could visit Sparrow’s Mobile Health Clinic Thursday, which provides accessible health care to people at no cost. The clinic is like an urgent care on wheels.

You could get a physical, health screenings like cholesterol and services for any immunizations like the flu shot. The clinic on wheels was at the St. Mary St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Carson City on July 20 *.

If you couldn’t make it to the mobile health clinic, Sparrow holds events in seven counties across Mid-Michigan during the summer.

From 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Friday, you can head to LMTS Community Outreach Services in Lansing. The clinic is at no cost. The only thing you need to bring is yourself.

Sparrow has a satellite hospital in Carson City, but their mobile clinic web page shows visits across mid Michigan.

It will be interesting to see whether this service survives Sparrow's acquisition by University of Michigan Health next year.

* The Sparrow web site has the clinic stop at St. Mary St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Carson City on July 25th, not the July 20th date in the WILX story.
