The National Rural Health Association is leading a national initiative, in partnership with the Leon Lowenstein Foundation, to better understand the role of mobile health clinics in rural and frontier regions. Through a comprehensive environmental scan, this effort will identify successful models, promising practices, and the policies needed to support mobile care delivery across diverse geographies, including Arizona.

Mobile clinics are especially critical in Arizona, where geographic distance and provider shortages present unique challenges. Insights from local providers, tribal health organizations, and community leaders will help inform a national report focused on strengthening rural health infrastructure through targeted policy and funding strategies. Arizona’s participation is key to ensuring these solutions reflect real-world needs.

Stakeholders across Arizona are encouraged to engage in this effort. If you have information on mobile health activities or can recommend individuals for informational interviews, your input is essential. Please contact Mory Bell at Mbell@ruralhealth.us or Marguerite Peterseim at Mpeterseim@ruralhealth.us to share your expertise and contribute to this national initiative.
