PENSACOLA, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 23, 2023 / Vera Medical Vehicles, in collaboration with Vera Healthcare and its advanced network of clinical providers and healthcare operations facilities, isdeploying a fleet of state-of-the-art healthcare busses to provide dental services and health assessments in Florida. The mobile clinics will make stops in 50 counties across the state to help address healthcare accessibility challenges with collaboration from communities, facilities and organizations in each region.
"Florida is facing urgent demand for preventive care, and the problem is even more significant for vulnerable aging populations that are often waiting months to schedule appointments through Medicare or Medicaid," said Dharma Nukarapu, founder and CEO of Vera Medical Vehicles. "More than 6.6 million Floridians were living in Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) as of September 2020, and by 2035, the population aged 75 and older will increase by 74%. With this initial campaign, we want to demonstrate the untapped potential of mobile clinics to close care gaps and improve access to clinicians."
Vera has extensive experience scaling mobile healthcare services. The company rapidly deployed its mobile units in India at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, filling laboratories at rates never seen before and conducting up to 60,000 tests each day.
"Vera's solutions are uniquely positioned to help bridge healthcare access and affordability gaps, bringing resources and equipment directly to the doorsteps of patients," said Nukarapu. "These services are particularly important in HPSAs where residents such as seniors or mothers with young children at home are otherwise having to travel a substantial distance to receive care."
Vera Medical Vehicles is differentiated in its ability to manage both the development and operations of its healthcare busses thanks to the company's collaboration with Vera Healthcare - helping organizations save up to 40% on equipment and procedural expenses. Vera has already completed proof-of-concept demos and gained partnerships for deployment of 51 buses in Florida, which will initially be focused on oral healthcare treatment. Vera is gearing up for larger operations and offering care services at for participating facilities across Florida, with plans to launch similar operations across Missouri, Kansas, North Carolina, Texas and Georgia.
