TCCH announces new mobile medical unit

news release

Treasure Coast Community Health (TCCH) will host a ribbon cutting ceremony for its new Mobile Medical Unit on Tuesday, February 13, 2024 from 5:00 – 6:00 pm at 1545 9th Street SW (Oslo Road), Vero Beach, FL  32962.

As the population of the County continues to grow, the number of medical providers has dropped by 30% since 2022 alone, according to the 2019 Indian River County Community Needs Assessment.

The Mobile Medical Unit is the first phase of TCCH’s multi-year expansion plan to address inequities in access to healthcare by bringing much-needed medical and dental services and screenings, including routine vaccines and testing for HIV and Hepatitis C, to residents of Indian River County.

 “Without TCCH, there would be a really big gap in terms of medical services.  There is no doubt we would be a much poorer community in terms of health,” according to Vicki Soulé, CEO of TCCH.

Both the Mobile Medical Unit, as well as a Mobile Dental Unit that will be delivered later this spring, were funded through the Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA) Health Center Program’s FY 2023 Capital Assistance for Hurricane Response and Recovery Awards.
