Bringing care to every corner 

Southern Ute Tribal Chairman, Melvin J. Baker and Executive Officer, Lindsay J. Box joined Tribal Health for an exciting first look at the new Mobile Health Unit – a game-changing step toward health equity and community-centered care. 

This isn’t just a vehicle – it’s a mobile health solution designed to meet people where they are. Whether it’s rural neighborhoods, community events, or those hesitant to visit a traditional clinic, this unit breaks down barriers and brings essential services directly to our people. 

Launching late October to early November, the Mobile Health Unit will offer: 

• Vaccinations 

• Mobile therapy sessions 

• Blood pressure checks 

• Lab work 

• Pediatric visits 

Operated by Shining Mountain Health and Wellness, the unit will be a vital presence at community events and available for most health and behavioral health programming. This initiative is fully funded by the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing, reflecting a powerful commitment to health equity and access for all.
