Support the Women's Mobile Health Program

The Cal Poly Women’s Mobile Health Unit (MHU) is a multi-disciplinary program improving the health of farm-working women across California’s Central Coast. The MHU addresses barriers such as limited access to preventive care, undiagnosed chronic conditions, and a shortage of providers experienced with multicultural, multilingual, low-income populations. Through its three integrated programs, Clinical Services, Health Research, and Student Learning, the MHU provides care and conducts research. It also serves as a hands-on training site where students gain critical experience in community-based healthcare while working directly with farm-working women who face barriers to accessing medical services.  

Our mobile clinic delivers essential services including annual exams, pelvic and breast exams, pap smears, blood pressure and blood sugar testing, cholesterol screening, family planning, pregnancy care, menopause support, heart health monitoring, female cancer screenings, mental health referrals, and connections to community resources. Services are offered in English, Spanish, and Mixtec, ensuring women from all backgrounds can access care safely and comfortably.  

Since 2020, the MHU has grown steadily from serving 65 patients to nearly 300 patients per year, with many more women on the waiting list. To expand care, we are pursuing new avenues of support, including this crowdfunding campaign. Community contributions are urgently needed to sustain and expand this essential service. Your donation, whether $25 to provide supplies for a patient visit, $50 for a full health screening, or $1,000 to support a full clinic day, makes an immediate impact. Each contribution expands our reach, improves health outcomes, and helps train the next generation of healthcare professionals.
