Community CareMobile — On-the-Road Healthcare for Howard County

The Community CareMobile brings care and assistance to places where it is needed most in Howard County.

Exceptional Care, Where You Need It

The CareMobile lets us offer health services to the community in a variety of locations so that it is easy to access.

During the hot summer months, the Community CareMobile can be found at local fairs and festivals — like the Kokomo Farmers’ Market and the 4H Fair — as a cool, comfortable place for breastfeeding moms to care for their infants. When flu season rolls around, it’s a quick and convenient place to get a free flu shot close to home. Every year we’re able to offer screenings and educational events to neighbors outside our hospital walls.

13 Years on the Road

Since its inception in 2011, the CareMobile has provided thousands of community members with screenings, shots, educational opportunities, physicals and more. Throughout the years, we’ve served thousands of Hoosiers. In 2023 alone, the CareMobile provided care for over 1,600 people:

• 161 flu shots
• 1,445 blood pressure screenings
• 55 blood glucose screenings

This year, we hope to continue this growth by providing even more opportunities for community members to receive the care they need when they need it. Like the screenings we provide every Monday and Thursday from 12 – 3 p.m. at Kokomo Family YMCA.

Starting in 2024, Community’s CareMobile will also begin offering screenings on Mondays from 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. at the Kokomo-Howard County Public Library.

It’s these opportunities that help our communities be and stay healthier.
