Thank you to the Driving Health Campaign for highlighting the work we're doing to bring accessible care to our community! Check it out!
What does it really take to move from brick-and-mortar care to a fully mobile model, and make it sustainable at scale?
In our latest blog, we speak with Melissa Belfield, Executive Director of Bethesda Community Clinic, about the clinic’s decision to transition to fully mobile care and what that shift unlocked for patients, staff, and operations.
Melissa shares candid insights on reducing no-shows, improving efficiency, and building deeper trust by meeting people where they are. She also reflects on why mobile healthcare must be treated as true primary care, not a short-term pilot, and how initiatives like Driving Health Forward can help remove barriers to long-term success.
