Care-a-Van Brings Healthcare Directly To Wenatchee Valley Residents

Access to health care in the Wenatchee Valley can be problematic for some people in low-income situations. If you don't have a regular physician, you wind up going to the emergency room for all kinds of things including a bad case of the flu. 

There are other options. 

Meet Care-a-Van Mobile health services.  

According to doh.wa.Gov.
‘Care-a-Van is a mobile health clinic that serves people across Washington state. We work closely with community partners and local health jurisdictions (LHJ) or departments to increase access to health services for priority communities. Care-a-Van has played a critical role in outbreak response, providing rapid, community-based solutions during public health emergencies.’
 

There are some people in our community that find it difficult to go to the hospital. They feel uncomfortable, out of place, sometimes even threatened. Care-a-Van Is a way to get around that and get them some of the health care that they might need. 

 The mobile clinic is coming to Wenatchee.

My girlfriend has a problem going into a hospital caused by some very bad memories from her childhood. The Care-a-Van Clinic might be an opportunity for her to get some basic health services that she would otherwise avoid because of how uncomfortable she feels walking into a hospital. 

Think about it and take advantage of this opportunity.
