Alabama: Help Inform National Mobile Health Clinic Policy and Practice

The National Rural Health Association is partnering with the Leon Lowenstein Foundation to conduct a nationwide environmental scan of rural mobile health clinics. This initiative is focused on identifying successful models, emerging practices, and the policy frameworks needed to support mobile care delivery, with a strong emphasis on rural communities like those across Alabama.

As mobile clinics continue to expand access to primary care, behavioral health, and preventive services, understanding how these models operate within Alabama is essential. The findings from this effort will be used to develop a national report highlighting policy levers and infrastructure needs at both the state and federal level. Alabama’s input will help ensure that rural providers and communities are accurately represented in these recommendations.

The Alabama Rural Health Association encourages all stakeholders to participate in this effort. If you have knowledge of mobile health activities in Alabama or can connect NRHA with key leaders for informational interviews, your perspective is invaluable.
