ARMC Pharmacy Department Donates First Aid Kits to Mobile Medical Clinic

Recently, Arrowhead Regional Medical Center’s (ARMC) Pharmacy Department Employee Engagement Task Force had a donation drive which collected several first aid kids that were then donated to the Mobile Medical Clinic (MMC). As part of our mission, the Medical Mobile Clinic offers a variety of healthcare services in underserved neighborhoods and remote areas of San Bernardino County. The Mobile Clinic is one of the ways ARMC and the San Bernardino County work to achieve the Countywide Vision, by improving the community’s health, which creates a better quality of life. The 40-foot clinic on wheels features two fully functional private exam rooms and a health consultation and education area and is staffed by medical resident physicians. The Medical Mobile Clinic offers the following services:

• Health screenings and immunizations
• Lab testing
• Diabetes education and care
• Physicals and treatment for acute and chronic illnesses
• Well-child checkups and women’s services (including mammograms, pap/pelvic exams)

There are several situations that don’t require a trip to the hospital or emergency room, including minor falls, allergic reactions, burns and other common accidents in which First aid kits are essential. Moreover, first aid kits are critical for those who have limited access to a healthcare facility, including those experiencing homelessness. The kits will be distributed to clinic patients throughout the San Bernardino County, especially those in need such as the homeless and elderly.
