Mobile Health Clinic for Seniors | St. Paul’s PACE Roving Clinic and Telehealth Care

Bringing Care to You

St. Paul’s PACE brings care directly to seniors where they live by means of our Roving Clinic, otherwise known as a mobile medical clinic. The St. Paul’s PACE Roving Clinic was designed to provide health care services for homebound seniors in a safe and fully-equipped vehicle.

Think back to the days when doctors made house calls and provided care for seniors at home; St. Paul’s Roving Clinic is a more advanced version of this concept. Our physicians and nurses can meet with participants anywhere in San Diego to provide the care they need to age safely at home.

History of the Roving Clinic

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, St. Paul’s PACE quickly implemented multiple solutions to bring care to homebound patients as safely as possible. In an effort to limit COVID-19 exposure, St. Paul’s PACE converted one of their passenger vans into a makeshift mobile clinic and started making house calls. After seeing the mobile clinic’s positive impact on our PACE participants, St. Paul’s medical team decide to take things a step further.

With help from the community, St. Paul’s raised the funds to develop a custom, state-of-the-art Roving Clinic designed specifically for homebound participants. This mobile clinic is fully equipped with the tools needed to care for seniors out in the community when they cannot come in to our centers.

The first Roving Clinic was generously donated by Dick and Dorothea Laub, who were so inspired by the innovation of this clinic-on-wheels that they underwrote the entire cost of the first vehicle.

Telehealth Care: Virtual Doctor Appointments for Seniors

Telehealth care is not a new concept for St. Paul’s PACE, but in an effort to adapt to the needs of seniors during the pandemic, we have implemented new telehealth systems and services. Our physicians and healthcare providers offer medical appointments by phone and by video conferencing.

This gives our participants accessible options to communicate with their healthcare providers without leaving the comfort of their own homes. During the pandemic, this has provided our seniors with peace of mind knowing they can get the care they need without risking their health and safety.
