Baptist Health Mobile Health Unit (MHU) Services Request

The Baptist Health vision is to improve the health of Arkansans by changing the way healthcare is delivered. One way we work to deliver on that vision is through the use of our Mobile Health unit. The Baptist Health Mobile Health Unit is dedicated to providing care to those in our communities who lack access to healthcare through traditional avenues. Under the direction of the Community Outreach Department, the Mobile Health unit is often used and requested to provide preventative screenings, vaccinations, education, and referrals, as well as to highlight different Baptist Health initiatives.

The Community Outreach team consists of nurses, health educators, dietitians, and support staff who offer services and events to support healthy lifestyles that prevent disease and improve quality of life.
