Healthcare Network unveiled the Van Domelen Health Express, a 45-foot mobile medical and dental unit to be delivered in mid-December to bring essential health care services to residents across Collier County, particularly in underserved areas. Made possible through a donation by local philanthropist Julia Van Domelen, this unit will travel to health care deserts, including Everglades City and Chokoloskee, as well as neighborhoods, schools and community events. The Van Domelen Health Express will deliver comprehensive medical and dental services similar to those offered in Healthcare Network clinics. With a wheelchair lift, restroom facilities and three exam rooms, the unit is designed to meet routine health care needs while also serving as a vital resource during disasters, nonprofit officials said.
