Mobile Outreach Program Enhances Access to Culturally Competent Dental, Mental, and Physical Health Care Services for Underserved, Uninsured Immigrants

The Salud Mobile Outreach Program is designed to reduce health disparities among Mexican immigrants, many of whom are poor, uninsured, and monolingual with limited education, by providing medical and dental care, referrals, and patient education primarily in rural areas of northern Colorado. The program is enhancing access to needed medical care and education in a population that has no other means of accessing such services. Information provided in February 2012 indicates that the program has been expanded to service refugees, asylees, and parolees arriving in the northern Colorado area by becoming their first medical contact in the United States of America. Also as part of the program’s expansion for mental health center patients who are in need of medical consultation and do not have a primary care provider, Salud’s Mobile Unit offers medical services and serves as bridge to incorporate these patients into a Salud clinic and establish a primary care provider.
