OPELIKA —
Not even a pandemic could stop Opelika’s Neighborhood Mobile Wellness Bus from being built, and now the bus is ready to roll.
The public is invited to a kickoff event this Saturday, Dec. 3, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Covington Park in Opelika.
The bus is a joint effort between the Casey Family Foundation, the city of Opelika and East Alabama Health.
This travelling clinic will provide specific medical services in underserved areas of our community.
The bus was donated by Tiger Transit and funded by donations, and will allow patients the ability to access routine and chronic illness screenings, learn about disease prevention, and receive referrals to community resources.
