Napa County literally rolled out its new mobile health vehicle Monday so people can more easily sign up for insurance and other types of care.

The “Be Well Mobile Services” is an RV-type vehicle that is designed to give people immediate access to a broad range of services, the county’s Health and Human Services Agency said in a news release Monday.

The vehicle will be parked at the Sullivan Parking Lot K at the corner of Third and Coombs streets in Napa on Mondays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

County staff will be on hand to help people with eligibility determinations, quick health screenings, referrals and on-site or same-day connections to Medi-Cal, CalFresh benefits, CalWORKs, WIC benefits, food and nutrition services, behavioral health services, in-home supportive services, veterans benefit services and seasonal vaccinations, among other things.

“Be Well Mobile Services helps remove barriers so people can get the care and benefits they need, quickly, respectfully, and closer to home,” said county HHSA director Jennifer Yasumoto. “It also allows us to serve our community in normal times and to be at the ready in providing our services in times of disaster.”
