McLaren Thumb Region Hospital - McLaren Health Care issued the following announcement on Dec. 21.
McLaren Macomb, a comprehensive healthcare provider serving all of Macomb County, has debuted its updated and larger mobile Medical Outreach Clinic, or MOC, to the benefit of the uninsured and medically underserved population of the county. A large vehicle described as a “doctor’s office on wheels,” the MOC travels to various locations throughout Macomb County, parking to provide primary care needs to those seeking treatment.
McLaren Macomb’s Medical Outreach Clinic program began more than 25 years ago with the original vehicle staffed with physicians providing a full range of primary care services – screenings, treatments for chronic conditions, diagnosis and initial treatments for illnesses.
Patients are provided these services at no cost.
“As a healthcare provider, we recognize the responsibility we have to care for the well-being of our community and those who call it home,” said Tom Brisse, McLaren Macomb president and CEO. “The selflessness and humanitarian spirit of the staff that runs the Medical Outreach Clinic program makes all of us in this organization proud to be associated with it. We are grateful to now be in the position to continue this extraordinary program for many years to come.”
The new vehicle features increased size, adding more than 10 feet from the original MOC, allowing for additional treatment space and expanded services. For the first time, the program will now include dental services thanks to a partnership from the Delta Dental Foundation and Baker College.
