Durham Tech Mobile Health Lab: Strategies and Recommendations for Enhancing the Delivery of Mobile Care Services in Durham and Orange Counties
Abstract
In 2020, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina awarded Durham Technical Community
College a $1 million grant to launch a new mobile health lab. The program will deliver
cross-disciplinary health education and outreach to Durham and Orange Counties, provide
clinical training to student volunteers, and engage local populations in training
and education to eliminate barriers to health access. This report will examine the
strategies and best practices that Durham Tech should adopt and adapt for the operation
of this new mobile health lab.
