Whether you’re serving patients in remote rural towns or navigating the signal dead zones of dense urban areas, this grant can be the lifeline your clinic needs to stay connected—and stay effective.

What the Grant Provides

The Jerry McLarty Connectivity Grant is more than a financial boost—it’s a $20,000 value package designed to equip mobile clinics with the tools and technology to establish reliable, secure, high-performance internet access while on the move. This allows providers to:

🩺 Access and update Electronic Health Records (EHR) in real time
💻 Conduct secure telemedicine consultations
🔐 Ensure patient privacy and compliance
📡 Improve communication and coordination across staff and locations

In short, it removes the tech barriers so your clinic can focus on delivering care where it’s needed most.

Real Impact, Real Stories

“The Jerry McLarty Connectivity Grant has made a big impact on our ability and efficiency with connecting to our EMR system and charting without frequent interruptions. With the new and more stable connectivity, we are able to reach more children, families, and communities. We are very excited to have this essential connection upgrade on our Mobile Medical Unit.”
— Affinia Healthcare, grant recipient

“Through the Jerry McLarty Connectivity Grant, Elica Health Centers has been able to reach a greater number of low-income families by having a fast and reliable network. For example, last Sunday, 44 COVID-19 tests were completed in the mobile unit within 5 hours in a very rural area. Services were provided to farmworkers and their families. Having a reliable network allows our organization to bring access to medical and emergency dental services and COVID-19 to hard-to-reach populations. The technology allows the medical staff to serve more patients in less time with no interruptions.”

These testimonials underscore what a difference reliable connectivity can make. From smoother charting to expanded outreach, this grant empowers clinics to do more—for more people.
