Mobile health and street outreach are increasingly recognized as essential tools in population health—but what happens when we stop viewing them as stopgap solutions and start treating them as system-level innovations? In this session, we’ll reexamine mobile healthcare through the lens of systems design, clinical equity, and financial sustainability. Drawing on real-world examples from patients experiencing chronic homelessness and severe mental illness, we’ll explore how mobile models expose blind spots in traditional healthcare delivery and offer replicable strategies to close those gaps. Participants will be invited to challenge assumptions, reframe care models, and consider how mobile care can drive transformation—not just for the underserved, but across the entire healthcare system.  

Learning Objectives: Re-evaluate mobile health and street outreach as system-level innovations, not just targeted interventions Analyze how mobile care models reveal structural gaps in traditional healthcare and offer scalable solutions Apply insights from field-based experience to reimagine quality, equity, and sustainability across health systems
