In this episode of Nonprofit Spotlight, Stephanie speaks with Dr. Nicole Person Rennell, Medical Director of the Mobile Health Program | College of Medicine – Tucson, a long-standing initiative providing critical access to healthcare for uninsured community members throughout Southern Arizona.
Dr. Person Rennell discusses the many facets of the program, from General primary care and preventive services, Well-woman checks and gynecological services, Comprehensive prenatal care, Reproductive health services, Child physicals and sports physicals, Chronic disease management, Minor procedures, and medication-assisted treatment for opioid addiction.
The program’s free prenatal care model is especially unique, offering comprehensive support for pregnant patients who find themselves unable to access insurance during a critical moment in their lives, with continuity of care that extends from pregnancy through delivery and postpartum needs.
They also discussed how the Mobile Health Program combines clinical expertise, mobile outreach, and community partnerships to meet the evolving health needs of underserved populations, ensuring that cost, transportation, or insurance status never stand in the way of essential healthcare.
