Eight judges from the health department and the school district chose 17 Featured Artists whose work was painted on two new Mobile Medical Clinics. The students saw their life-sized artwork for the first time on Wednesday May 28. All of the students at the school got to tour the two new Mobile Clinics.

About the Mobile Clinics

The Dental Mobile Clinic will be used to reach more children in schools where the Health Department provides dental care throughout the year. The Dental Mobile Clinic rotates to as many schools as possible throughout the year. For more information about the Dental Mobile Clinic Program, call 595-6500.

The Medical Mobile Clinic will have several uses. The Health Department will be able to provide services – such as immunizations and communicable disease services — to parts of the county where there are not Health Department facilities. During disasters, the mobile unit can serve as an on-scene first-aid unit or as a command unit serving health and medical workers across the county or region. The Health Department is still firming up the locations and services that the Medical Mobile Clinic will provide, but the mobile clinic will likely be linked with work in immunizations and communicable disease services in areas targeted by the Health Department's work.
