CareCoach Mobile Health Unit
Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital's Mobile Health Unit, known as the CareCoach, has been reaching the medically under-served population—including children and older adults—in our area 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
Please note: as of May 15, 2010, the CareCoach will only offer childhood immunizations at Mano a Mano and Round Lake Area Public Library.
