Mobile Care Chicago

Uncontrolled or poorly managed asthma prevents children from attending school, deters them from joining the team, and raises their risk of emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and in the worst-case scenario, death. In Chicago communities, where pediatric asthma prevalence often exceeds the national average by 25%, Mobile Care Chicago provides accessible medical care and individualized health education on the Asthma Vans. Children with mouth pain perform a full letter grade below their peers, miss three times as many days of school, and in extreme cases can suffer permanent mouth and brain damage. Tens of thousands of Chicago children were not able to access restorative dental care last year despite known oral health issues. Mobile Care Chicago's Dental Vans are comprehensive dental clinics capable of traveling directly to children in need.
