title: Mobile medical clinics offer alternative to renovation and construction.
abstract: Mobile Health Care Programs have many attributes. Every organization genuinely concerned with client access to their services should consider having one. When the need to service outlying areas arises, a mobile clinic offers more flexibility and is the most economically feasible alternative. Granted, there is no shortage of vacant structures for rent or purchase in rural America. That, of course, is just the start; you also have the expense of renovating the interior to accommodate the patients and staff. And do not forget the four P's: Planners, Permits, Politics and Payola (taxes and fees).
