The mobile clinic team finished their first day of exams yesterday, seeing as many patients as they could before learning their location was changing. Today the clinic is moving to the FEMA Disaster Recovery Center in Houston, and will begin seeing patients there tomorrow. The plan is to stay in the greater Houston area for the next couple of weeks and work with the Red Cross to determine which shelters and recovery centers we can best serve. Dana Rainosek of VSP Legends Lab spent yesterday visiting doctors in the surrounding areas to check on their needs and also inform them of mobile clinic activities.
Here’s a quick recap of the mobile clinic team’s efforts:
- 21 patients were given exams on Monday
- 50 vouchers were also given to those in need
- After Houston, the mobile clinic team will move to Galveston as soon as conditions permit
More updates to come Friday.
