The St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin has added a mobile medical trailer to help in their response to the COVID-19 in their Tribal Communities.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact Northwestern Wisconsin, the St. Croix Tribal Health Mobile Unit will serve as another resource to allow the Tribe to respond at a community level to COVID-19 outbreaks.
The St. Croix Tribal Health Clinic Staff plans to initially use the trailer to support and expand their ongoing COVID-19 drive-through testing initiatives and provide community flu-vaccination clinics. Once the threat of COVID-19 has subsided the Mobile Health Trailer will provide service to areas that don’t have convenient healthcare access. This medical trailer will allow valuable services to be brought to those who need it most, and allow people without means of transportation to receive medical care, such as the elderly or other vulnerable patients.
Funding to purchase the mobile medical trailer was provided through the CDC-GLITEC-Saving-Lives grant award, and by the support of St. Croix Tribal Council, in partnership with the St. Croix Tribal Health Clinic.
