Nursing’s Mobile Health Program Gets Ready to Roll

The College of Nursing unveiled its new mobile health clinic, called Feeling Good in Your Neighborhood, this past November. The rainbow-patterned, 36-foot van is a fully equipped health care practice and was designed to complement the College of Dentistry’s Smiling Faces, Going Places mobile outreach program.

The nursing van will service an area of Brooklyn with a large immigrant community that is mostly uninsured and suffers high rates of asthma hospitalizations and obesity.
