Public health bus getting a new facelift
The Region of Waterloo’s Public Health Neighbourhood Bus has been updated with a new, community-voted design featuring multilingual 'welcome' messages. The mobile clinic continues to provide vaccination services and health support to local residents.
Why it matters
Mobile health units are essential for increasing accessibility to medical services in underserved or geographically dispersed communities.
The Region of Waterloo’s Public Health Neighbourhood Bus is back on the streets of Waterloo with a new look, says a new release, after those vaccinated on the bus in the past year were given a chance to decide its new paint job.
The “neighbourhood bus” is a Region of Waterloo Public Health (RWPH) mobile unit that brings public health services to neighbourhoods across the region. The mobile clinic is often a vaccination site for those around Waterloo Region.
When operating, the bus is staffed by registered nurses who help the public with health-related questions and with finding local health services.
