| 1 | 281 | B001224 | Cori Bush | 2022 | Saint Louis University | 500000 | The district currently has several healthcare deserts. This mobile unit will provide vital services to a population of the district that is presently lacking in access to adequate health care services. If we improve access to healthcare, we improve health outcomes. When we improve health outcomes our community is healthier, they take care of themselves, they self-evaluate their health, they feel seen, they feel heard, and they trust healthcare. Less than 20% of doctors who train in Missouri stay in Missouri. Even fewer choose to practice in an underserved area. When we expose medical students to low-income, minority, and homeless populations, medicine and healing take on a whole new meaning. Students who are invested in their community want to help their community and are more likely to choose careers in those communities. Mobile health clinics are one way to connect healthcare professionals with patients who lack physician access. The mobile health clinic will meet triple aims of providing needed healthcare, influencing a pipeline of nurses, physicians and allied health professionals to work in the community, and increasing the health literacy and health behaviors of the community. | ASST_NON_P044A210477_091 | SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY | 1420155.0 | Department of Education | SAINT LOUIS TALENT SEARCH PROGRAM | 2022 | name_fy |
