Free public health services will be offered throughout December in locations across northeast Oklahoma as the Oklahoma State Department of Health District 4 continues to utilize its newly-acquired mobile wellness unit.

OSDH District 4 serves an eight-county region including Craig, Delaware, Mayes, Nowata, Ottawa, Rogers, Wagoner and Washington Counties.

The “Mobile Health on the Go” mobile wellness unit is part of a statewide fleet mobilized earlier this year by OSDH to help reach underserved communities with vital services, including the COVID-19 vaccine.

“We are trying to reach as many underserved areas and populations across District 4 as we can,” said Cody Villanueva, District 4 Health Equity Specialist. “Our Mobile Wellness Unit can provide vital health services to Oklahomans of all ages every month in each of the eight counties we serve.”

The mobile unit consists of a fifth wheel travel trailer that is equipped to facilitate full clinic services for women’s exams, well-checks, and other public health programs. There is a built-in reception area, generator, satellite dish and wheelchair lift among other features.

Free services offered by the mobile wellness unit will include: immunizations, general sick visits, annual child visits, COVID-19 testing and vaccinations, school/sports physicals, flu testing and vaccinations, blood pressure screenings and other public health services.
