Meet the Mobile

The McHenry County Department of Public Health’s Mobile Clinic, which officially launched on October 10, 2024, brings essential services such as immunizations, health screenings, and Women, Infants & Children (WIC) support directly into local communities to reduce barriers to care. By meeting residents where they are, the Mobile Clinic improves access to preventive healthcare and supports healthier outcomes for underserved individuals and families across McHenry County.

Our Mobile Clinic is a Winnebago WFJ33S built on a durable 22,000 lb. Ford F53 chassis, measuring 33 feet 6.5 inches in length and can extend out to 9 feet in width. Designed for safe, reliable travel on rural roads and in all weather conditions, the unit requires approximately 6–7 standard parking spaces for setup. Inside, the RV is fully equipped with medical-grade furnishings, climate control for year-round comfort, and two private consultation areas to ensure confidential, high-quality care for our community.
