Sadler Health Center on Wednesday said its Health Center on Wheels mobile van will visit locations in Shippensburg and Perry County throughout November.
The mobile unit will provide medical care to patients, including annual physical exams, care for illnesses, follow-up care, COVID-19 tests and immunizations, including flu and COVID. The unit will also provide dental care, including dental exams and teeth cleanings.
“Our mobile unit raises the level of accessibility and convenience of health services for our community,” Sadler Health Center CEO Manal El Harrak said. “The unit is our ‘Health Center on Wheels,’ enabling us to bring affordable health care to even more Cumberland and Perry County residents. Anyone who needs health care should have access to health care. Just like our health center in Carlisle, our dental clinic in Perry County and our soon-to-open West Shore health center in Mechanicsburg, our mobile unit will provide care to anyone regardless of their income or insurance status.”
