Texas Children’s operates mobile clinics to provide trusted, high-quality medical services to children who may not have the access or opportunity to receive health care. Our fleet of mobile clinics travel all over the Greater Houston area to provide comprehensive health care to under-resourced children. The mobile clinics provide low-cost care to children from newborn to 18 years of age. The clinics are open to the public; children do not have to attend the school where the clinic is parked to receive care.
Low-cost Vaccines/Immunizations for VFC eligible children (uninsured children and those eligible for Medicaid). Well child visits/urgent/sick care (eligibility requirements apply).
Appointments are strongly recommended.
Parents/guardians should call 832-824-6355 for eligibility questions or to schedule an appointment
We accept walk-in patients, but services are limited by staffing, supplies and time. Once our patient limit is reached daily, we cannot take more walk-in patients.
Families are encouraged to arrive early.
Children MUST be accompanied by parent or legal guardian.
Families MUST bring paper copies of all available immunization/vaccine/shot records, including records from countries of origin
The mission of Texas Children's Mobile Clinic Program is to provide comprehensive health care and preventive education to underserved children in the Houston area.
Our goals are to:
Educate families about health insurance options
Explain to families the advantages of establishing a permanent medical home for their children
Increase immunization rates in target areas
Reduce inappropriate ER use by increasing access to health care in target areas
Promote health education and healthy living in the communities served
Provide a learning opportunity for Baylor College of Medicine medical students and residents with a focus on barriers in caring for underserved children and the importance of reducing health care disparities
