The UF Mobile Outreach Clinic unveiled
its newly renovated bus to students and
faculty of the UF College of Medicine Sept.
27. The bus comes equipped with two exam
rooms, a laboratory and a waiting room
that doubles as a third exam room. The
MOC delivers health care to the medically
underserved in low-income neighborhoods
and rural areas in and around Alachua
County while providing UF undergraduate,
medical, physician assistant and other
health professions students with valuable
educational experience. Last year, the
MOC provided more than 4,000 people
with acute care visits, preventive health
screenings, sports physicals and chronic
disease management, according to MOC
medical director Grant Harrell, MD ’10.
