PREMIER MOBILE HEALTH SERVICES CORPORATION

SINCE OUR FOUNDING IN 2018 WITH A SINGLE MOBILE MEDICAL CLINIC, OUR ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO GROW. IN THE YEARS SINCE HURRICANE IAN IN 2022, WE CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE HIGH DEMAND FOR OUR SERVICES. WE OPERATE 2 MOBILE MEDICAL CLINICS MAINTAINING A ROBUST MONTHLY TRAVEL SCHEDULE TO PROVIDE MEDICAL CARE IN THE UNDERSERVED AREAS IN OUR COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION, WE OPERATE A BRICK-AND-MORTAR WALK-IN CLINIC THAT ALSO SERVES AS OUR ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE. IN 2024, WE PROVIDED FREE MEDICAL SCREENINGS AND PROVIDED COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL CARE FOR 3014 CLIENTS. WE PARTICIPATED IN 26 OUTREACH EVENTS. OUR 296 VOLUNTEERS DONATED 4,389 HOURS TO HELP US FULFILL OUR MISSION. HURRICANE DISASTER RELIEF IS AN INCREASINGLY LARGE PART OF OUR MISSION. IN 2024 OUR COMMUNITY EXPERIENCED 2 HURRICANES BACK-TO-BACK. HURRICANES HELENE AND MILTON CAUSED WIDESPREAD DAMAGE FROM FLOODING AND TORNADOS. WITHIN JUST A FEW DAYS, WE MOBILIZED OUR MEDICAL CLINICS, STAFF, AND VOLUNTEERS TO TRAVEL TO THE MOST DEVASTATED AREAS. BECAUSE OF THE ASSISTANCE OF THE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS, WE FORMED WITH LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL AID ORGANIZATIONS WE WERE ABLE TO DEPLOY QUICKLY AND EFFECTIVELY. WE ARE COMMITTED TO MAKING HEALTH CARE CONVENIENT FOR OUR PATIENTS. OUR PARTNERSHIPS AND DONORS HAVE FUNDED OUR CAPABILITY TO DISPENSE CONVENTIONAL MEDICATIONS AND THE OPERATION OF A POINT OF CARE IN-HOUSE LABORATORY. THIS LABORATORY IS A HUGE BENEFIT FOR THE UNINSURED PATIENTS WE SERVE SINCE IT ENSURES QUICK LAB RESULTS, SO THEY NO LONGER MUST WAIT FOR THEIR TEST RESULTS TO COME BACK FOR A SECOND VISIT. WE ALSO PROVIDE PATIENT-FRIENDLY TRANSPORTATION FOR THOSE UNABLE TO PICK UP THEIR PRESCRIPTIONS AND TRAVEL TO THEIR LIFE-SAVING APPOINTMENTS, SUCH AS DIALYSIS, PHYSICAL THERAPY, AND OTHER ESSENTIAL MEDICAL REFERRALS. FOR ADDED CONVENIENCE, WE OFFER TELEHEALTH VISITS. WE ALSO PROVIDE FREE, CONFIDENTIAL HIV TESTING AT ALL OUR MOBILE CLINIC LOCATIONS. OUR NEW PARTNERSHIPS AND DONORS THIS YEAR ALLOWED US TO PROVIDE ENHANCED SERVICES FOR OUR CLIENTS INCLUDING AN INCREASE IN OUR PREVENTATIVE CANCER SCREENING CAPABILITIES AND EXPANSION OF TRAVEL SERVICES TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO THE IMMOKALEE COMMUNITY. WE ALSO RECEIVED IN-KIND MEDICAL EQUIPMENT INCLUDING PORTABLE X-RAY AND ULTRASOUND EQUIPMENT AND DONATED SERVICES INCLUDING UPGRADES TO OUR MEDICAL MOBILE CLINICS AND STRATEGIC PLANNING CONSULTING SERVICES. PREMIER MOBILE HEALTH SERVICES IS STAFFED WITH HIGHLY SKILLED MULTILINGUAL PROFESSIONALS. OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE FREE HEALTH CARE SERVICES IS ALSO MADE POSSIBLE BY OUR 12 AFFILIATION AGREEMENTS WITH NATIONAL AND LOCAL UNIVERSITIES HELPING US PROVIDE SERVICES AT NO-COST AND LOW-COST. OUR ORGANIZATION IS A BRIDGE FOR STUDENTS AS THEY TRANSITION INTO PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL CAREERS. IN 2024 WE TRAINED 22 STUDENTS WHICH INCLUDED 13 NURSE PRACTITIONERS, 2 MEDICAL ASSISTANTS, 2 PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS, 4 REGISTERED NURSES AND 1 PHLEBOTOMIST. OUR GENEROUS DONORS HELPED US TO CREATE A SENSE OF BELONGING AND SUPPORT DURING THESE DIFFICULT TIMES AS FAMILIES CONTINUE TO RECOVER FROM HURRICANES OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS. DURING OUR BACK-TO-SCHOOL SEASON, WE GAVE AWAY 350 BACKPACKS FILLED WITH DONATED SCHOOL SUPPLIES, AND WE PERFORMED 463 FREE SCHOOL PHYSICALS. AT THE 6TH ANNUAL BREAKFAST WITH SANTA EVENT, WE PERFORMED 300 BASIC MEDICAL SCREENINGS WITH THE CHILDREN IN ATTENDANCE AND THE CHILDREN RECEIVED VISION AND HEARING SCREENINGS FROM OUR COMMUNITY PARTNER. CHILDREN ALSO RECEIVED FREE HAIRCUTS, OVER 600 CHRISTMAS TOYS, 50 BICYCLES AND HELMETS, MEDICAL SUPPLIES, FREE FLU SHOTS, DIAPERS, HYGIENE SUPPLIES AND COUNTLESS OTHER ITEMS. BECAUSE OF OUR COLLABORATION WITH OUR PARTNERS, WE ALSO DISTRIBUTED TOTE BAGS TO THE FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR FILLED WITH SANITARY NAPKINS, BABY ITEMS AND MEDICAL SUPPLIES. WE ALSO HELD SEVERAL OUTREACH EVENTS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LEE HEALTH OFFERING FREE LUNG, BREAST, PROSTATE AND COLORECTAL CANCER SCREENINGS. WE WERE HONORED TO RECEIVE THE GOLD STANDARD SEAL FROM THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FREE AND CHARITABLE CLINICS FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW. THIS RECOGNITION IS A TESTAMENT TO OUR HARD WORK, DEDICATION, AND UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING QUALITY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO THOSE IN NEED. TEAM EFFORTS HAVE UNDOUBTEDLY MADE A PROFOUND IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF COUNTLESS INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES. THIS AWARD IS A REMINDER OF THE INCREDIBLE DIFFERENCE THAT CAN BE MADE WHEN WE COME TOGETHER WITH A SHARED PURPOSE TO MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE WORLD. OUR COMMUNITY CONTINUES THE LONG RECOVERY FROM HURRICANES IAN, HELENE AND MILTON OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. THERE HAS BEEN A RISE IN THE POPULATIONS WE SERVE AND THE NEED TO EXPAND OUR SERVICES IS GREATER THAN EVER. MANY STILL CANNOT SEE THEIR CURRENT MEDICAL PROVIDERS BECAUSE OF JOB LOSSES, LOST INSURANCE, AND THEIR ABILITY TO COMMUTE. THEIR NEEDS RANGE FROM MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES TO ACUTE AND CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT INCLUDING DIABETES, HYPERTENSION, HYPERLIPIDEMIA, OBESITY, MOBILITY PROBLEMS, SMOKING, INCREASED ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION, ISOLATION, UNEMPLOYMENT, HUNGER, AND MORE. THE LONG-TERM RECOVERY EFFORTS FROM THESE HURRICANES EXPANDED OUR PRESENCE IN THE COMMUNITY AND THEREFORE INCREASED THE NUMBER REQUESTS FROM COMMUNITY CENTERS, CHURCHES, AND OTHER FACILITIES TO BE ADDED TO OUR MOBILE CLINIC ROUTE. THE UNWINDING OF MEDICAID CONTINUES TO BE A HEALTHCARE CRISIS THAT REQUIRES URGENT ATTENTION AND SUPPORT TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY CAN RECEIVE THE CARE THEY DESERVE. MEDICAID PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN PROVIDING AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE COVERAGE TO LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES, ENSURING THAT THEY HAVE ACCESS TO ESSENTIAL MEDICAL TREATMENTS, PREVENTIVE CARE, AND MEDICATIONS. HOWEVER, AS MEDICAID PROGRAMS FACE BUDGET CUTS AND POLICY CHANGES, THERE IS A PROFOUND IMPACT ON COUNTLESS INDIVIDUALS, LEAVING THEM WITHOUT ACCESS TO CRUCIAL HEALTHCARE SERVICES. MANY INDIVIDUALS ARE BEING LEFT UNINSURED AND UNABLE TO AFFORD THE HEALTHCARE SERVICES THEY DESPERATELY NEED. THIS PLACES AN EVEN GREATER BURDEN ON THE MOBILE CLINICS AND THE COMMUNITY WE SERVE. OUR CLINICS, ALREADY OPERATING WITH LIMITED RESOURCES, NOW FACE AN INCREASED DEMAND FOR OUR SERVICES AS WE TRY TO MEET THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN THROUGH THE GAPS IN THE SYSTEM. WE BRING MUCH NEEDED MEDICAL CARE, AND BRING LOVE, HOPE, COMPASSION, AND A SENSE OF WELL-BEING TO THE INDIVIDUALS WE ARE SERVING DURING THE WORST TIME OF THEIR LIVES. OUR VAST EXPERIENCE IN CARING FOR THE MARGINALIZED AND THE UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES IN OUR AREA HAS PREPARED US TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND THE WAY WE ARE TODAY. PREMIER MOBILE HEALTH SERVICES REMAINS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING ESSENTIAL LIFE-SAVING CARE TO THOSE AFFECTED WHILE CLOSING THE HEALTHCARE EQUITY GAP.
