Fresno State Mobile Health Unit


Through the Fresno State Mobile Health Units, nursing students and faculty are able to provide free health services and health screenings to underserved communities in Fresno County. This includes free health education, blood pressure and blood sugar screenings, cholesterol screenings, flu and COVID vaccines, and more. In addition to providing healthcare services to the region, these mobile units have provided vital hands-on training, experiential learning opportunities and clinical experience for hundreds of students at Fresno State, including nursing students in the baccalaureate, master's and RN to BSN programs. 

The mobile units are uniquely eqipped to address the healthcare needs of Fresno County's most underserved areas, and works in partnership with local nonprofits, community organizations and local leaders to help provide culturally respectful care to those who need it most. Both units are funded in part by donations from Saint Agnes Medical Center and the Chevron Corporation, as well as state funds secured by Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula. 

Since 2015, the Fresno State Mobile Health Unit has:

  • Visited over 290 sites across Fresno, Madera, Kings and Tulare Counties
  • Treated nearly 18,000 patients who otherwise would have gone without care
  • Provided hands-on learning opportunities to over 4,200 Fresno State students majoring in nursing, as well as a variety of other majors on campus
  • Helped students contribute over 23,000 service-learning hours to the University and community
  • Administered over 8,680 COVID-19 vaccines
