CareCoach
Helping mothers ensure their families get access to preventative care and valuable health education is at the heart of our mobile CareCoach service. Children and adults who are uninsured or don’t have access to, or perhaps can’t get to, important health care services, like screenings and immunizations, can get free, local access via CareCoach—Lake Forest Hospital's mobile health unit. The CareCoach has been reaching the under-served population in the county since 1999.
Thanks to generous support from donors, our CareCoach takes its free health services and educational programs on the road to 22 community sites each month. A number of food pantries, librairies, schools and local businesses are among the CareCoach's regular monthly visit sites. The CareCoach also attends and supports local community and civic events.
Services provided by our registered nurse include:
- Cholesterol screenings
- Blood pressure screenings
- Diabetes screenings
- BMI screenings
- Waist measurement screenings
- Tobacco cessation services
- Counseling with a registered nurse
- Immunizations
- Referrals to a physician, if needed
We offer a variety of appointment times to best fit our patient's busy schedules. Please call to determine the best appointment time for you.
