In an effort to increase veterans’ access to care at the James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital, the chief of staff’s office added the mobile clinic in 2009.

The MOC’s target audience is veterans living in Hillsborough, Hernando, Polk and Pasco counties. This roving clinic has three private exam rooms, a diesel generator, four air conditioners, a bathroom and two wheelchair lifts.

In addition to providing health care services and enrollment, the MOC gives the hospital the capability of assisting the community in disaster response.

If you have any additional questions, contact Robert Foster, outreach program coordinator, at 813-690-0235.
