The establishment of a student-run mobile clinic in Morehead, Kentucky, led by students from the University of Kentucky College of Medicine's (UKCOM) Rural Physician Leadership Program (RPLP), aims to address health inequities in rural Appalachian communities. This pilot program is designed to serve vulnerable populations, including the unhoused, by delivering free, accessible healthcare services directly to underserved populations. This program serves as a model for expanding access to healthcare in rural regions while promoting a collaborative, community-based approach to addressing social determinants of health.
由肯塔基大学医学院(UKCOM)农村医师领导力项目(RPLP)的学生牵头,在肯塔基州莫尔黑德建立了一个学生运营的流动诊所,旨在解决阿巴拉契亚农村社区的健康不平等问题。这个试点项目旨在为包括无家可归者在内的弱势群体提供服务,通过直接为服务不足的人群提供免费、可及的医疗服务。该项目为扩大农村地区的医疗服务可及性提供了一个范例,同时促进以社区为基础的协作方法来解决健康的社会决定因素。
