Causes: Community Clinics, Health
Mission:
Our mission is to provide quality health care to the uninsured, low income, working poor and homeless in Montgomery County. Our goals include: the provision of free or low-cost medical care in a respectful, competent, culturally sensitive and compassionate manner; patient education toward self-directed health management; and a decrease in the need for Emergency Department medical care for the uninsured.
Results: MobileMed gets top-notch reviews from patients. On our annual patient survey we are always pleased to find that more than 90% of respondents would recommend MobileMed’s services to friends or family. MobileMed is a Federally Qualified Health Center and for the past two years we have received recognition for performing in the top 10% of such clinics, across the nation, on key clinical quality measures. We spend eighty-five cents of every dollar directly on patient care, and have been recognized as “one of the best” local nonprofits by the Greater Washington, DC's Catalogue for Philanthropy.
Target demographics: Community members who are uninsured or low income receive regular care
Direct beneficiaries per year: More than 3,000 patients
Geographic areas served: Montgomery County, MD
Programs: For over 50 years, we have provided high-quality, culturally competent health care to low-income residents. 80% of our patients are uninsured. We serve patients at three fixed-site clinics, which are complemented by mobile van sites located in communities of need. Our primary care services include integrated behavioral health, chronic disease management, and preventative screenings. We also offer certain in-house specialty care through volunteer clinicians, including heart and endocrine clinics in collaboration with NIH and Suburban Hospital. We regularly refer patients to other local resources to address social determinants of health such as food insecurity. Our case managers also help patients navigate to medical services beyond our program scope, including charitable specialty networks and affordable medications.
