Free mobile clinic fills 'huge need' on Casino Road
EVERETT — A mobile clinic now offers free primary care to uninsured families on Casino Road in south Everett.
On the first and third Friday this month, local nonprofit Lahai Health parked its nearly 30-foot clinic on wheels at Connect Casino Road’s community center known as The Village. The center, within walking distance of several apartment complexes along Casino Road, is a resource hub for the neighborhood’s low-income Spanish-speaking population.
Starting in October, Lahai will park the two-room clinic at 14 E Casino Road every Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. One or two of Lahai’s network of hundreds of volunteer doctors will staff the clinic. Doctors will spend up to an hour working with each patient.
The clinic is a way to alleviate health care challenges common for Casino Road families, including financial, language and transportation barriers. Connect Casino Road partnered with Lahai after locals expressed a need for preventative care at several community listening sessions, said Alvaro Guillen, director of Connect Casino Road.
