Augusta Health’s mobile clinic takes healthcare on the go

Stanton — An undocumented Hispanic man living in this area needed medication to treat diabetes. Fearing to see a medical professional, he returned to Mexico, got a year’s worth of medicines, and then returned.He was sent to Augusta Health’s mobile primary care for his one in his clinic. I used to do this every year until I found one.

“If they’re not citizens, we don’t turn them away,” says Augusta Medical Group nurse Isaac Izzillo, who directs Augusta Health’s mobile primary care team. If you have an ID, the clinic group will ask you to register his ID, but it is not required.

“That’s right. They live in our community and we just want to help them.”
