Radford University
CARES Mobile Health Clinic
Healthcare in Motion
The May 15, 2026 CARES Mobile Health Clinic launch and key hand-off ceremony marked
the beginning of a new chapter rooted in service and community care across Southwest
and Southern Virginia.
The CARES Mobile Health Clinic, made possible through a partnership between Radford University and Anthem HealthKeepers Plus, was created to expand access to maternal health services, preventive care and health education in communities where healthcare resources can sometimes feel out of reach.
As the mobile clinic begins serving communities across Southwest Virginia, Radford University will partner with both existing and future community organizations, including New River Valley Community Services and the Virginia Department of Health New River District, to ensure residents are connected with care and resources where they are needed most.
The mobile clinic will also prepare students to understand healthcare in a deeper, more human way. As students step into the mobile clinic in the months ahead, they will not only practice clinical skills; they will meet families, listen to concerns and see firsthand the barriers many rural communities face in accessing care.
