Care-a-Van Mobile Health Services delivers no-cost preventive care services and health education to people across Washington state. Beginning in August 2026, the program transitioned to support rural areas of Washington state as part of the Rural Health Transformational Program. We collaborate with Tribes, local health jurisdictions, social service providers, and community partners to increase access to those disproportionately impacted by health disparities and those in underserved communities.

Care-A-Van’s service menu continues to expand and brings all of the staff and equipment necessary to create an accessible pop-up event. All ages are welcome to this Washington State Department of Health (DOH) walk up service, and no insurance or identification is required.
