Care-a-Van is a mobile health clinic that serves people across Washington state. We work closely with community partners and local health jurisdictions (LHJ) or departments to increase access to health services for priority communities. Care-a-Van has played a critical role in outbreak response, providing rapid, community-based solutions during public health emergencies.  

Since July 2024, Care-a-Van has administered more than 3,900 Flu, 6,800 COVID, and 5,700 childhood vaccines.   

Beyond immunizations, Care-a-Van offers blood pressure and glucose screenings, naloxone distribution, and partnerships with Care Connect hubs and other community organizations to connect people with vital social services.  

Care-a-Van has also played a critical role in outbreak response, providing rapid, community-based solutions during public health emergencies.  Care-a-Van collaborates with local health jurisdictions (LHJs), Tribes, and community-based organizations to serve disproportionately impacted and underserved communities.
