California county turns to mobile health vans after hospital closure

After severe staffing shortages forced Madera (Calif.) Community Hospital to close in December 2022, the county is rolling out mobile health vans to cover gaps in care, local news outlet ABC30 reported April 5.

The vans are equipped with medical supplies, trained clinicians, vaccines, screening technology, blood pressure cuffs and glucose checks.

For more complex medical conditions, telehealth options will be available.
