Rural residents in New Hampshire’s Monadnock region experience significant healthcare barriers, including geographic isolation and transportation challenges. This has led to higher chronic disease and mortality rates in the area. Guided by the Social Ecological Model, this intervention proposes a mobile health clinic to provide free screenings, immunizations and health education. The effectiveness is evaluated by pre- and post- surveys, service utilization metrics, and the amount of primary care referrals. The program aims to increase health knowledge and preventive behaviors while reducing distance-related barriers. Success is defined by improved service accessibility and successful patient integration into primary care networks. This community-centered approach addresses the root causes of rural health disparities by bringing services directly to underserved populations. The mobile clinic model offers a scalable strategy to improve health equity and long-term outcomes in geographically isolated regions.
