Mobile Health Resource Center

The William W. Backus Hospital’s Mobile Health Resource Center offers health education, counseling, and screenings on a 40-foot van that travels to various locations in eastern Connecticut.

The van is part of Backus Hospital’s ongoing commitment to improve the health of the community by providing preventative healthcare services in the community it serves.

Cholesterol screenings, diabetes education, backpack safety, HIV education/testing, blood pressure tests, skin cancer screenings, nutrition education and many others services are offered as part of this community outreach effort.

For information on how to schedule the van for your next community event, call 823-6313. The van and its services were made possible by a generous donation by Harold Ross.
