Since 1910, San Joaquin Community Hospital has been providing comprehensive health care services for the City of Bakersfield and Kern County. San Joaquin Community Hospital decided
to “go mobile” in June 2010 to make their services more accessible to the community. Universal Specialty Vehicles, Inc. had the pleasure of building their 40’ Mobile Medical Clinic.

 

The vehicle has two slide-out rooms that extend to create more interior work space. The first slide out is approximately 8’x30” and is located in the center intake area. It hosts a small desk, task chair and overhead cabinets. The second slide-out room is approximately 8’x30” and contains extra space for a bench seat, desk and overhead cabinets. This slide-out room is located in the rear exam room. Another great feature that the vehicle has is that their bathroom is ADA accessible. Also, the vehicle contains a medical grade refrigerator and medical grade freezer that will be utilized for vaccines.

In order to create privacy, USV installed a Woodfold Commercial Accordian door that separates the intake area from the lab and bathroom area. Privacy is a main concern for incoming patients and this feature will allow them to feel secure. A built-in 32” HDTV Flat Screen is on board the vehicle and is viewable from the exterior. An A&E Weather-pro Electric Awning is located on the passenger side of the vehicle.

 

Fully equipped with state-of-the-art technology, the vehicle has the same equipment that you would find in a regular hospital. San Joaquin Community Hospital is currently using their Mobile Medical Clinic to provide Immunization Clinics for children whose parents cannot afford healthcare services. San Joaquin Community Hospital has been providing mobile immunization clinics since early 1990. At the time, they reached over 50,000 children that had immunization needs. The mobile clinic keeps expanding and more children are being reached. With the greater need of school immunizations coming up, San Joaquin’s mobile medical clinic is busy working this summer. The hospital stations their vehicle in local mall parking lots and other various locations throughout their work week.

 

Universal Specialty Vehicles, Inc. worked with a great staff to make this project a reality. From the smallest of details, to the bigger ones, USV was able to complete the vehicle in a timely manner. USV is known for their continued customer service and success in building vehicles that can be utilized for many years to come.
