Mobile Bus Provides Free Health Care For Low-Income Residents

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FL —Health care is coming to the doorsteps of low-income Hillsborough County residents.

Hillsborough County’s Office of Community Impact is celebrating the grand opening of Housing Is Healthcare, a new mobile bus that will bring free basic health care services to low-income neighborhoods.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at 1 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 16, at 6008 Farmington Oaks Place, Riverview.

Hillsborough County, in partnership with Tampa Family Health Centers, is planning for the Housing is Healthcare mobile bus to visit affordable housing sites to reach residents who may not have access to affordable health care services. The program will offer a holistic approach to health and wellness services by providing residents with not only basic medical services, but also behavioral health, chiropractic care and dental care.

Hillsborough County officials, Office of Community Impact staff, Affordable Housing staff and Tampa Family Health Centers staff will attend the ribbon-cutting. The schedule and locations for the Housing is Healthcare mobile bus will be announced soon. For more information, click here.
