Mobile medical healthcare can address extreme cases of people living homeless by offering them government sponsored medical care at little to no cost by meeting people where they are to foster health and wellbeing. This onsite mobile medical team can offer primary care for chronic conditions, HIV and hepatitis testing, family planning, behavioral and chemical dependency help and overdose prevention. A mobile medical van can also help with the primary health services to migrants, refugees, victims of natural disasters and manmade calamities (War, Global warming, Economic Collapse, Terrorist attacks, Chemical & Biological Threats, Nuclear Accident). A medical van can bring a great opportunity to unite primary medical service and public health on this National Public Health week to remind us that all life is precious.

American Public Health Association (APHA) is celebrating National Public Health Week 2017. (www.nphw.org) This celebration involves the power of prevention, advocating the healthy and fair policies, sharing strategies for successful partnership and championing the role of a strong public health system. This ensures the conditions that give everyone an opportunity to be healthy and becoming the “Healthiest Nation”.

The public health organizations globally can work to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to live a healthy life which would result in an extended life for generations to come. Better health can result in improved emotional state of the communities at large channeling this energy for the optimum mental health of the country.

Dental health management of children is a good indicator of the national health of a community and nation. Underlying genesis of poor health and disease risk in children is directly related to the dental health management of children by parents and public health organizations supported by their government. The education institutions from medical community, kindergarten, schools and universities can contribute immensely by taking an active interest in the dental and medical health of children as they are growing up to adulthood. Healthy children learn more in the educational institutions and grow up to be healthy adults and contribute to the national health. Some basic issues like breast feeding and safe sleeping environments for neonates can impact the overall health of a community.

Primary medical services are provided by general practitioners (GPS or family doctors or designated primary care physicians). The preventive health plan for children can include physical exam, blood work, urine tests, growth screening, oral screening, screening for developmental and behavioral health issues and information about safety. Wellness preventive health plan for adults can include physical exams, blood pressure and cholesterol screening, colon cancer screening, hearing exam, eye exam, blood work, urine tests, screenings of behavioral health issues, alcohol, tobacco and substance use, personal safety, heart health, nutrition, physical activity and vaccines.

Dental health should also be included with the preventive plan as many medical issues in children and adults are attributable to poor dental health. Early detection of dental and medical health issues can avoid painful procedures costing substantial resources to the patients and community.
