Who We Are
The California State University San Marcos Mobile Wellness Initiative is an initiative funded by The Conrad Prebys Foundation and community donors, working in partnership with TrueCare, to support community health providers serving our most vulnerable neighbors.
What We Do
We engage students from the seven disciplines of CEHHS - nursing, social work,
education, public health, kinesiology, speech-language pathology, and human
development - in community-based health education and promotion events.
With multiple disciplines participating at each event, these opportunities allow
our students an interprofessional collaborative experience, which is proven to
build stronger clinicians after graduation.
Additionally, our students gain experience working in community health, as they
speak directly with participants of all ages about health-related topics.
Our Future
Scale-up our community involvement by building additional relationships and
partnerships to expand our reach to more communities struggling with health disparities.
Add preventative health care services to our scope of practice for additional
hands-on opportunities for students and added benefit for our community
members.
Acquire our own mobile health vehicle for improved efficiency. As our services
expand, we will need a private clinical space for preventative services.
Make a Donation
Your donation enables the Mobile Wellness Initiative to foster a healthier, more
equitable community by providing health education and promoting access to care and
connections to resources, while also providing collaborative work opportunities for
our students.
