Beginning the summer of 2024, the UI Health Mobile Health & Wellness Services began to offer reproductive health care from a brand-new, 38-foot RV converted into a clinic on wheels. Going to the rural areas of Illinois where care is less available, advanced practice nurses will provide services including:

  • Well-visits and regular check-ups to ensure overall health and wellness
  • Confidential testing and counseling for sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
  • Contraceptive management and information on birth control options
  • Quick, reliable, point-of-care pregnancy testing
  • Reproductive health education

Patient-centered care will be provided by experienced nurse practitioners and nurse-midwives from the UIC College of Nursing.

The program was made possible by a $3.1 million grant from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to fund ENRICH (Enhancing Nursing Education and Retention by Initiation of Care delivered by Mobile Health Units).
