Twenty-seven Midland Elementary families received medical assistance in the Caremobile that was parked outside the school Jan. 19.
Principal Robyn Colbert said she had requested the visit from Peak Vista Community Health Center's medical unit on wheels as part of a District 11 recent agreement with the charity health-care nonprofit.
In fact, Midland was the first D-11 school to have the Caremobile come by, Colbert said. She was eager for the service because she knew of numerous school families who, chiefly because of their financial circumstances, might not see a doctor for their children as regularly as they should. With appointments set up every 15 minutes, “there's no hassle of waiting around,” she pointed out. And if people are indigent, “Peak Vista helps with that.”
A medical assistant was in the three-room Caremobile to provide routine exams, treatment of illness or injury, ongoing primary care, physicals, immunizations or referrals for specialty care.
Colbert had made an effort to get the word out to Midland's families in the weeks beforehand, so that nearly all the potential appointment times Jan. 19 were filled. Nicole Null, the Caremobile manager, told Colbert hers was the best turnout since the effort started a year ago.
The Caremobile will drive back to Midland three more times this semester: March 5 to offer dental care, April 21 for medical care again and May 7 to follow up on the dental.
