This problem based solution, case study describes the experience of a University-community based partnership in the development of a mobile clinic model within ambulatory Community Medical Health. In 2014, a university based, nursing program initiated, mobile health unit was created to offer basic medical care to rural health areas in the Central Valley. The following case describes how this was accomplished, what outcomes were tracked and what lessons were gleamed as a means of improving the process for future endeavors or as a model to others looking to develop a similar project.
