Mobile CARE may be one of the best models for urban health care delivery, bringing the docs to the patients in a school based setting. And they bring the high expectations for success as well, transforming quality of life for patients and families. The asthma model works extremely well, due largely to the dedication of the doctors, nurses and staff. There is potential for treatment of a number of other chronic conditions in this setting, combining healthcare, education, followup, expectation of success and remarkable convenience for the families.

I've been involved with MobileCARE for more than a decade and have seen first-hand the impact on THOUSANDS of kids and their families, through their hands-on, on-site approach to treating asthma. Nothing beats bringing the medical experts and client DIRECTLY TO THE SCHOOL SITE! MobileCARE employs a great team of medical experts and program administrators.
