VCOM - Carolinas 2018 Yearbook

Mobile Medical Unit

I n 2017, ReGenesis Health Care donated a mobile medical unit to VCOM, a gift that improves the College’s ability to provide care in Spartanburg and throughout the southern Appalachian region. The medical unit, which is outfitted with two exam rooms fully equipped to treat patients on location, will help further the College’s mission to serve those with limited access to healthcare, and provide hands-on training for medical students.

The College’s primary purposes for the mobile medical unit are to further the education of VCOM students and to improve access to healthcare throughout southern Appalachia. The vehicle allows students to gain practical skills under the supervision of VCOM faculty, as they gain a better understanding of patient care and the challenges faced by residents of rural and medically underserved areas.
