The Jesse Brown Veterans Affairs Medical Center launched a new state-of-the are mobile medical unit to deliver care to veterans who are homeless.
Byron Taylor, a social worker at Jesse Brown VAMC, said the mobile medical unit is one of 25 that have been launched and deployed across the United States. Regina Freeman, with the Jesse Brown VAMC, said the new mobile unit will be staffed by a team of healthcare professionals, and provide a wide range of services, including basic medical care,"So we're going to be able to bring all the resources and services right on the spot. So that's the reason why we decided to participate in this and request the Mobile Medical Unit because we realize that many of our veterans couldn't get here, especially during the pandemic.
