Memorial Healthcare System Mobile Health Program Served 2,000 Patients in 2026

Memorial Healthcare System's Mobile Health Program served more than 2,000 patients through more than 2,800 visits in South Broward during the first nine months of 2026, the health system said in a PR Newswire release on November 6, 2026. The program builds on a 2025 that delivered more than 3,500 patient visits and contributed to a 62% reduction in hospital admissions among participating patients.

Memorial's 2025 Mobile Unit Visits and Savings

In 2025, Memorial's adult and pediatric mobile health units provided 1,623 adult visits and 1,961 pediatric visits while operating 224 adult service days and 248 pediatric service days across South Broward. Care was delivered at schools, community events, municipal programs and partner organizations. The units served seven municipalities, three schools and 20 community sites, and took part in 15 community events. The program generated an estimated $4.3 million in health system cost savings.

"Mobile health is one of the ways Memorial is fulfilling its commitment to improve access to care for our community," said Dionne Blackwood, vice president of Memorial Primary Care & Ambulatory Services. "By bringing healthcare directly into neighborhoods, we can reach patients earlier, connect them with primary care and community resources, and help prevent health issues from becoming medical emergencies."

The program provides preventive care, chronic disease management, medication refills, sick visits, pediatric care, school physicals and immunizations, and connects patients with primary care providers, financial assistance programs, case management services and community resources. Adara Adams, director of community services for Memorial Primary Care & Ambulatory Services, said: "Healthcare begins with trust."

Memorial's 2026 Mobile Health Expansion

Memorial replaced an aging pediatric mobile health unit in 2026 and added five sites to its regular service locations, including churches and schools. The health system said it continues to expand the program in 2026 through new community partnerships, enhanced family medicine services and continued integration with primary care. Memorial launched its first pediatric mobile health unit in 2000 to improve access to school-based care and immunizations, and the program has since grown into a fleet serving children and adults throughout South Broward.

Memorial's Recent Expansion Moves

According to akta.pro company records, Memorial opened its Red Road ER freestanding emergency department in Miramar in June 2026, serving Miramar Lakes, Pembroke Pines, Miami Gardens and surrounding neighborhoods. The records also show Memorial opened the redesigned Memorial Cardiac and Vascular Institute at Memorial Hospital West in March 2026, a $15.59 million facility of about 20,000 square feet that doubled exam room capacity from 17 to 29.
