North Olympic Healthcare Network (NOHN), in partnership with the Port Angeles School District (PASD), will deploy a new mobile delivery model to bring healthcare services to the district’s K-12 students beginning Monday, November 8. The NOHN Mobile Health Clinic, a 38-foot Winnebago RV featuring a customized clinical interior and specialized medical and technical equipment, will visit each school at least once a week throughout the school year. NOHN staff on board will provide medical and behavioral health services directly to students at each school's location.
“We know how important good health is to student success and that accessing healthcare during school hours can be a challenge for students and parents,” said NOHN CEO Michael Maxwell, MD. “We’re excited to expand our collaboration with the Port Angeles School District by bringing services directly to students throughout the district through the Mobile Health Clinic. We’re grateful for the donations we received in support of this project, including those from the United Health Foundation, Molina Healthcare and Olympic Medical Center.”
"The NOHN Mobile Health Clinic is another layer of services to support our students’ well-being,” said PASD Superintendent Martin Brewer. “We are grateful for the partnership with NOHN and will now provide healthcare to students that is easy to access and decrease time spent out of class. The new Mobile Health Clinic is a great win for our district, its students, and the community."
PASD staff, students and families are invited to attend an introductory demo / walk-through of the Mobile Health Clinic at Port Angeles High School, 304 E. Park Ave., from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, November 13. Safety measures including strict masking protocols and social distancing will be in place to ensure a safe environment for everyone. A formal open house will be announced soon.
