CAREs Mobile Health Pilot Project
On behalf of the Cities of Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park, we are happy to partner with the youth, community, Hennepin County Public Health, Brooklyn Center Community Schools, African Career Education and Resource, Inc., and Northwest Hennepin Family Service Collaborative to build a NEW Mobile Health pilot project.
The first round of mobile services will include COVID testing and information, personal protective equipment & supplies, flu shots and mental health check-ins. As we connect with community members most impacted by COVID we will learn and respond to emerging needs.
Partners hope to have the Mobile Health Home out in the community by the end of November. Please contact Rebecca Gilgen if you have questions. Rebecca.gilgen@brooklynsallianceforyouth.org
