| Overview & Vision: |
We have record high numbers of people in Pittsburgh that do not have adequate access to health care services. Conservatively 20% of Pittsburgh neighbors are living below the poverty line. Sadly, Pittsburgh is above the national average for metropolitan cities. Transportation and cost are barriers to even the most basic medical care as health systems in these less fortunate areas continue to close and relocate to more affluent suburban locations.
Our goal is to close the health insurance coverage gap by providing health care free of charge for Pittsburgh’s underserved population in our neighborhoods.
The use of medical “pop-up” clinics strive to fill in the “health insurance coverage gap” in providing health care to meet the immediate needs of patients. In addition, “pop-up” clinics provide quality health care and are instrumental in connecting patients to much needed access to preventive services, disease management services, dental, vision, health education, and resources.

We do our part by bringing quality care to people where Pittsburghers are – in their communities.
We improve the health of the population and reduce the cost of health care. We give patients peace of mind by providing quality mobile health care services that heal mind body, and spirit.
