Background and Discussion:
Harris County Public Health (HCPH) is expanding its mobile health services to address gaps in preventive healthcare access across underserved communities. This includes awarding contracts for the procurement of two new mobile units-one dedicated to dental care and one for mammography screenings. These units will enhance the department’s ability to reach residents who face barriers such as geographic isolation, lack of transportation, or limited access to clinics. The mobile dental unit will provide preventive and restorative dental services, while the mobile mammography unit will deliver essential breast cancer screenings. This item reflects the next step in implementing HCPH’s broader strategy to reduce disparities in care and improve health outcomes.
Expected Impact:
Awarding these contracts will allow HCPH to deploy fully equipped mobile units capable of delivering high-quality dental and breast cancer screening services across Harris County. The dental unit will support oral health in high-need areas, while the mammography unit will improve early detection rates and support timely intervention. Together, these units will expand access to preventive care, reduce delays in diagnosis, and contribute to better health outcomes. The project supports HCPH’s goals to improve community health and address persistent access barriers in a flexible, cost-effective way.
