Dutchess County Announces Mobile Health Unit

Rolling into several locations across the Hudson Valley this month, the Dutchess County Department of Health, in partnership with Sun River Health and several community organizations, have released information about upcoming mobile health clinics.

Helping to ensure that EVERYONE in Dutchess County has access to basic medical care, the Mobile Health Unit (MHU) has four upcoming stops, one as early as Thursday, April 3rd, across the county.

According to Dutchess County Government, at each and every stop the MHU makes there will be a provider inside the mobile unit that will address general health needs with wellness checks on things like blood pressure and pre-diabetes screenings, vaccinations, immunizations, and STI screenings. The MHU is also able to do mental health screenings and substance abuse services as well.

The team will also provide resources for additional care and insurance navigation assistance, as well as Narcan training, healthy eating resources, CPR training and other health-related trainings via the Public Health Education Coordinators.
