Our History:
Since 1992, the Georgetown University Children’s Medical Center has provided comprehensive pediatric services on a mobile pediatric unit for children from birth to 21 years of age in the District of Columbia. We have been able to provide more than 42,000 patient visits to children with poor access to health care with help from generous foundations, corporations and individuals, and the support of Georgetown University and Georgetown University Hospital/MedStar Health.
Our Mission:
The mission of the KIDS Mobile Medical Clinic (KMMC) is to improve access for underserved children to comprehensive services necessary to achieve better health care. This mission is based on the belief that every child, regardless of his/her financial means, deserves high-quality, comprehensive, continuous health care, delivered in a respectful, caring and family centered environment—a “medical home.” Our pediatric mobile clinic achieves this mission by delivering primary medical care to children, age birth to 21 years, directly in their neighborhoods at no direct cost to their caregivers. While providing primary medical care is our principle focus, we have incrementally expanded our programming to include mental health and social services, education, advocacy and hope to have ophthalmology services in the near future. Only by working as a professional team, can we hope to provide our patients with the services they need. As part of a larger institution of advanced education, our mission is also reflective of Georgetown University’s commitment to educate ‘women and men to be responsible and active participants in civic life, and to live generously in service to others.’
Who Are We
The KIDS Mobile Medical Clinic is under the direction of the Community Pediatrics Program which is part of the Department of Pediatrics at Georgetown University Hospital, a MedStar Health Partner. We are a not-for-profit 501(c) 3 program. The KIDS Mobile Medical Clinic staff is a dynamic team of healthcare professionals dedicated to providing quality services to children, adolescents and families. This team is truly greater than the sum of its parts, and includes doctors, nurses, social service providers and an administrative support team.
Who Is Eligible:
All children ages 0 – 21 years are eligible for our program whether or not they have medical insurance. Additionally, we also treat patients with Medicaid coverage but who do not have a regular doctor or pediatric clinic. There is no out-of-pocket expense to patients or their families.
