“We are actively working right now to bridge the gap in healthcare and wellness services for underserved communities, impacting over 115 million Americans. Please join our movement and support us addressing this critical need. Together, let us be the change that brings equitable access to healthcare for all.”
We are partnered with CLODS, a globally recognized leader in digital health solutions, to provide innovative digital and mobile health solutions that enhance healthcare delivery in underserved areas. This collaboration equips mobile health units with advanced country-wide broadband telehealth capabilities, electronic medical records, and real-time digital diagnostic labs and other tools — bringing high-quality, technology- driven healthcare and wellness services to communities that typically lack access to medical services. By integrating CLODS’s digital health infrastructure, the World Nehemiah Project ensures that mobile health units can deliver efficient, data driven care that supports continuity for patients in even the most remote locations.
Mobile Health Initiative
World Nehemiah Project formed a collaboration with the University of Minnesota Mobile Health Initiative to expand healthcare access in underserved areas. This collaboration strengthens efforts to bring critical healthcare and wellness services to healthcare deserts utilizing state-of-the art mobile health units. The Mobile Health Initiative has a proven track record during the past five years of delivering care through mobile clinics offering services such as primary care, preventive screenings, chronic disease management, and mental health support.
Under this collaboration, the World Nehemiah Project is donating CLODS’s innovative digital and mobile health solutions to support and sustain the Mobile Health Initiative’s efforts. This contribution enables the expansion of mobile healthcare and wellness services while ensuring long-term sustainability, helping more individuals in underserved areas access essential care.
We are now underway, expanding the Mobile Health Initiative’s reach and enhancement of services from several thousand patient visits annually, to a goal within the next three years of 25,000 patient visits annually. We are assisting them to grow from 20 community locations currently served, hosting more than 100 events annually, and recruiting over 300 medical professionals and student volunteers for their events, to a multiple of these. By fostering as an important part of these endeavors, an integrated curriculum and experiential learning into current health-related academic programs at the university, students have an opportunity to obtain clinical training placements in underserved communities.
The World Nehemiah Project’s partnership with CLODS and collaboration with the University of Minnesota Mobile Health Initiative is touted to become, as the initiative’s director Dr. Jonathan Kirsch states in his recent address to the state’s legislators, a showcase model for the United States, representing an innovative, scalable approach to healthcare and wellness services delivery.
By integrating innovative digital and mobile health solutions with mobile healthcare and wellness services, the World Nehemiah Project is advancing the breakdown of barriers to healthcare and creating a future where all individuals, regardless of their geographic location and financial circumstances, have access to high-quality healthcare. Through this initiative, the World Nehemiah Project is making a lasting impact on some of the most neglected communities in the United States.
As a testament to what is being accomplished in Minnesota right now by the Mobile Health Initiative to address these healthcare challenges, please take just “40” seconds to view the compelling video clip of “We Are Here: Lowering Barriers with Mobile Health.”
Their unwavering efforts and struggles over the years to reach the successes they have achieved in delivering healthcare and wellness services to the underserved, captured in just “40 seconds,” could not be more analogous to many interpretations of the number “40” in both the Bible and Quran as a representation of Moses’ struggles in the desert for “40 years” and the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises to his people.
Please consider joining and supporting our growing movement to bridge the gap in access to healthcare and wellness services in underserved communities.
To observe and experience the actual impact on people’s lives our organization is fostering, please take either “40 seconds” to watch the short trailer, or a more lengthy 35 minutes to view in its entirety the just recently released documentary film on the project.
We Are Here: Lowering Barriers with Mobile Health.
In this 35-minute film, an innovative and dedicated team of health care professionals, doctors, nurses, medical and nursing students, and community organizers all join forces to bring crucial health care services to underserved communities throughout Minnesota. The documentary crew follows staff and volunteers with the Mobile Health Initiative at the University of Minnesota as they provide primary care, dental care, vision care, and vaccinations to both rural and urban communities, bridging gaps in access and trust by leveraging the relationships and deep community ties created by local partner organizations.
