Mobile free clinic for the uninsured

In an effort to reach those in Hampton Roads who are uninsured, the Bon Secours Care-A-Van provides general medical care and referral free of charge to uninsured adults and children throughout the region. Services include routine evaluation and treatment of common acute illnesses. The Care-A-Van also offers sports physicals, children's health insurance enrollment and health education services.

The mobile free clinic on wheels is a collaboration among many community partners that include faith-based organizations, health agencies and free clinics. Care-A-Van is 100% funded by donations and the generosity of the community.
