Lee Health opened a new mobile health care clinic solution for Southwest Floridians built by global critical infrastructure leader Black & Veatch. Now stationed at Veteran’s Park in Lehigh Acres, the 36-foot unit will support an advanced provider, nurse and customer service representative that can be mobilized throughout Lee County in the event of emergencies, pressing needs or major incidents requiring medical attention. With two exam rooms, a central reception area, a wheelchair lift and state-of-the-art equipment and devices, the unit will be open three days a week, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and serve as a family medicine walk-in clinic.

The mobile unit also includes a variety of features to ensure that it can run entirely on its own, including an oversized freshwater tank with a redundant pumping system to allow for maximum versatility and an onboard full-feature air purification system. It also can run independently of the power grid yet access power directly when the unit is able to connect to the grid and has more than 4 kilowatts of rooftop solar power and 28 kilowatt hours of battery energy storage, with a redundant backup generator supporting the power supply. 5G high-speed connectivity using multiple carriers is available if broadband is down.
