“One City at a Time” Rolls into Miramar Mobile Health Centers Bring Resources and Services to Underserved Communities

Memorial Healthcare System’s “One City at a Time” program is now active in the City of Miramar. Designed to bring essential health resources and services to south Broward residents, this initiative operates through mobile units that will be stationed at various community locations three times a week throughout September. All services are provided free of charge, ensuring that those who are uninsured or underinsured have access to crucial healthcare.

The program features pediatric and adult mobile health centers that aim to enhance health outcomes by eliminating barriers to care. By facilitating easy access to medical services, the program helps prevent or manage chronic conditions before they escalate. This initiative underscores Memorial Primary Care’s dedication to proactive health measures and community well-being.

Vedner Guerrier, Memorial Healthcare System’s chief transformation officer, emphasizes the importance of accessibility: “We know that not having easy access to care is one of the social determinants that impact a person’s overall health. That’s why we’ve made the commitment to have our mobile units on-site at community locations to make it easier for people to care for themselves and their families.”

For the month of  September, Memorial’s mobile teams will be available at the following Miramar locations without the need for appointments:

  • Tuesdays (9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.) – Miramar Multi-Service Complex (6700 Miramar Parkway)
  • Wednesdays (10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m.) – Lakeshore Park (8501 South Sherman Circle)
  • Thursdays (9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.) – Vernon E. Hargray Youth Enrichment Center (7000 Miramar Parkway)

The range of services offered includes medical exams and screenings, vaccinations, nutritional counseling, information on Medicaid eligibility and insurance enrollment, referrals to social services and specialists, and access to primary care physicians.
