Mobile medical unit bridges gaps in care, providing vital services and support for Veterans in Tulsa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eastern Oklahoma VA Health Care System<\/a> (EOKVAHCS) is taking health care on the road for Veterans who are homeless in Tulsa. Its mobile medical unit provides staff with exam space, equipment and supplies so they can bring health care services to Veterans who are without homes, in shelters and in transitional housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur team provides primary care for Veterans and helps coordinate any specialty care they need,\u201d said Homeless Outreach Supervisor and Coordinated Entry Specialist Alice Doyle. \u201cWe try to connect with Veterans from our first encounter, often when they\u2019re staying outside or at one of the shelters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
