Mobile Health Unit Bridges Gap Between Healthcare Services and Most Vulnerable – FNHA
Feb 07, 2022
It’s known affectionately as “The Moose.” Since May of 2020, the Mobile Outreach Unit for Health and Support Services (which gives us the MOUHSS acronym) has made a huge health impact in the Campbell River community.
With seed funding for the project coming from the First Nations Health Authority, community donations have been playing a big role in what The Moose can provide to its clients.
The brightly coloured RV drives in the downtown area of Campbell River three days a week at specific locations. The Moose is accessible for the vulnerable as well as bridging gaps in services for people who are not accessing them. Sometimes it can act as a first step in the mental health journey for clients.
