To whom it may concern; After I lost my health insurance, I did not know what I would do. I had virtually bankrupted myself paying for health insurance and prescription medications. Even though my employment offered no health coverage; it was quite a financial blow when I lost my job. Then, a friend told me about Mobile Medical, Inc. My first visit to their Rockville, Maryland office was most calming and educational. The administrative staff was very welcoming, and answered all my questions as they walked me through the paperwork. The nurses and their assistants were friendly and reassuringly capable as they obtained my medical history and basic health information.I did not have to wait long at all to see the doctor. After a thorough physical examination and review of my health history, we developed a plan of action and made arrangements for lab work, referrals for more tests, and a follow-up appointment to discuss them. Everyone at Mobile Medical displayed such a high degree of efficient professionalism and thoughtful courtesy coupled with genuine caring that I felt I was in very good hands.The staff provided me with most of the necessary medications and instructed me in their usage. I was even provided some much needed testing equipment to keep track of my blood sugar levels! All of this was dispensed to me at a cost much lower than I had been paying. I am not being dramatic when I say that Mobile Medical literally saved my life. I have lived in Montgomery County most of my life and was unaware of Mobile Medical's existance. I am eternally grateful to everyone connected with this fine organization.Sincerely,James Luke

Mobile Med Health Center provided me with good care when I fell ill and was uninsured. The clinicians cared and referred me to evaluations quickly to find what was going on with my health. The staff kindness, professionalism, and dedication to helping people in need made a big difference in my life.

Mobile Medical Care is a great organization which was there for me when I didn't have anywhere to go for healthcare. They got the care I needed by providing me a primary care doctor, referrals to specialist, and getting me financial support for procedures, etc.
I got the opportunity to work with the Board as a shareholder being a patient myself. The people on the board are dedicated to the success of MobileMed, which means getting great patient care for the underserved.

It's not easy to be needy and unhealthy. After being a MobileMed patient before ACA (Obamacare), and now volunteering here the last 3 years, I am still in awe of the commitment of those who make MM work for patients. Some staff and volunteers have been here for decades to provide healthcare without barriers, and to make this ideal a reality. To meet and work with such dedicated people is an awesome experience. I volunteer for MM patients, and yet feel I'm the lucky one.

As a board member and a previous consumer of quality healthcare organization (MobileMed), it is our goal to make sure the word is getting out that MobileMed is a wonderful County healthcare resource for the underserved. Without MobileMed I would have never gotten the healthcare I needed which ended up saving my life. Thankfully I was referred to MobileMed and was a patient for 10 years. I would refer anyone looking for quality healthcare to take a look at MobileMed.

Mobile Med is a great healthcare organization, and I recently had a positive experience that illustrates their commitment to quality care. A close friend needed urgent dental work, and we were in a tough spot without insurance coverage. That's when we turned to Mobile Med.

What impressed me most about Mobile Med was their dedication to providing accessible medical services for all, regardless of insurance or income. They accepted Medicare cards, which was a lifesaver. The process was easy - we scheduled an appointment online, and Mobile Med took care of the rest. They addressed the immediate dental issue and provided the necessary support. Mobile Med's commitment to patient-centered care amazes me, making the whole experience smooth and reassuring. If you're looking for quality healthcare in Montgomery County, Mobile Med is a reliable choice, offering many services I believe are high quality.

I am a retired CDC health researcher. I have volunteered with Mobile Med in Montgomery County, MD for over a dozen years. I have also supported it financially. I continue to be enthusiastic about it because of the high volume of essential health services it provides to the poor, especially to immigrants without regard to their legal status.

People should not have to choose between putting a roof over their head with food on their table and good medical care! Mobile Med makes it possible for people to not have to make that choice. The care they provide to those less fortunate individuals is literally life saving in many cases. They treat each client with respect and take the person, and their circumstances, into consideration when working with them. They are a gift to the community!!

MobileMed continues to be a leader in Montgomery County Community Health and Safety Net Services. During the past year, MobileMed adapted to provide needed services to its consumers during the pandemic including telehealth and COVID conscious services at it's three fixed site clinics. In addition, MobileMed partnered with several community organizations to provide vaccination services at various community housing and other locations. This effort supported the County's public health goals for everyone to have access and get vaccinations preventing the spread of COVID and promoting the health of people in our county. As has been the case across the 50+ years of MobileMed services, when the public health needs change, MobileMed quickly adapts to answer the call while continuing to provide the primary health care services for those most in need. I'm pleased to support this much needed organization and ask that you do the same.

Mobile Medical Care (MobileMed) is a leader in providing health care for those in need who often have no other access to healthcare. For over 50 years, MobileMed has provided healthcare by going into the communities most in need through its mobile van clinic and now through fixed site clinics also. As one of the longest participating Board Members and Past President, I have seen first hand the positive impact MobileMed has in the community through its integrated physical and mental health services, community collaboration for specialty care services, and its strong commitment to cultural diversity and preventative care supporting the healthcare and wellness of all it serves. As the community needs change, MobileMed quickly adjusts and expands its services to support the needs. For example, during the recent pandemic, MobileMed quickly adjusted to offer telehealth services for all and to provide for the monitoring and delivery of needed medications for Diabetic patients. Monthly town hall sessions were offered via Zoom calls to provide updates to the community and our patients on steps MobileMed was taking to continue services during the pandemic and how the patients could access the services. These are just a couple of examples of many that demonstrates MobileMed's commitment to our community. As one of the County's oldest safety net clinics and now as an FQHC, MobileMed continues to remain committed to the ideals of its original founders to treat every person with dignity, respect, and help support their long term wellness through treatment and continuing education to help them stay well and productive members of our community. Having worked with many healthcare organization throughout the county during my career, I can say that MobileMed is a true gem in our community and deserves the honor of being one of the great nonprofits.

It was such a pleasure to become involved in MobileMed's community vaccination efforts as a volunteer site coordinator. I worked directly with members of the Montgomery County faith community and saw how important it was to work with (and learn from) community partners in order to increase access to the COVID-19 vaccines. It was exciting to be involved with MobileMed in this fast-moving environment as MobileMed expanded its program on the ground to meet community needs. As a volunteer, I found my MobileMed experience to be incredibly rewarding and would welcome the opportunity to contribute to this organization and its mission again.

I have been donating to MobileMed for years. They provide much needed health services to the most vulnerable populations in our County. When COVID hit, they pivoted quickly to online appointments and seeing patients in person in a safe environment in order to minimize the disruption in care. They also went into the communities where their patients live and set up vaccination clinics to make sure that anyone who wanted a vaccine could get access. Their staff and volunteers are some of the most dedicated I have ever seen.

As a member of the Board of Mobile Med as well as the volunteer assistant Medical Director, I have been impressed with the high level of care that is delivered by a caring and dedicated staff. The uninsured and under insured of Montgomery County receive basic primary care including treatment of chronic illness, prevention, and evaluation of mental health issues. During Covid, Mobile Med provided needed care using telehealth. We have gone into communities to deliver Covid 19 vaccinations. I am proud of the work done in Mobile Med and look forward to its continuing progress and success in delivering care to the uninsured.

As President of the MobileMed board, I am delighted to share information on this amazing organization. Earlier this week, our Executive Director shared the recent results of the latest MobileMed patient satisfaction survey. The other board members and I were so thrilled to hear that 99% of the patients surveyed would recommend MobileMed to a family member or friend!
I am particularly proud of how MobileMed, during the COVID pandemic, has continued to provide comprehensive care to thousands of consumers who might not otherwise have access to affordable health care. As the daughter of a clinical psychologist who was particularly committed to the importance of access to mental health services, I especially commend the major commitment MobileMed has made to servicing behavioral health needs of its patients, including through telehealth protocols.
MobileMed is a thriving, flexible organization that has evolved along with the times and I highly recommend it for your consideration.

I have been a volunteer and Board member of MobileMed for over 10 years. Providing health care to those who are underserved changes lives and literally saves lives. I have heard several patients talk about MobileMed saving their lives by diagnosing their heart disease and arranging for treatment, getting their diabetes under control, etc.

MobileMed has a proud tradition of voluntary providers, who work side-by-side with staff. They also have partnering organizations that provide pro bono or reduced rate specialty and lab services. Therefore, the impact of contributions to MobileMed are significantly magnified.
