Hines Mobile Medical Unit making a visit to Streator
Hines, IL - A Veterans Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) from Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital will be at 305 E Hickory St, Streator, IL , from 4p.m. To 8 p.m. On Tuesday, January 14, 2014.
Veterans who wish to receive care through the MMU must bring a copy of their DD Form 214 with them to the visit.
The MMU is the latest tool Hines VA Hospital is using to reach out to area Veterans to enroll them in and provide them with top quality VA healthcare. In late summer, the Hospital unveiled the 38-foot MMU that features two separate exam areas, a counseling room, on-the-spot enrollment and much more. The Veterans MMU travels throughout the Chicagoland area to bring health care services and information to area Veterans.
“Our Veterans MMU provides us with an opportunity to engage Veterans and to assist them with enrollment in VA Healthcare,” said Joan Ricard, Hines Hospital Director. “We are thrilled to be able to increase our presence in the community and bring our top-quality healthcare out to our Veterans through the use of this vehicle.”
Hines deploys the Veterans MMU on a regular basis to areas in the Chicago suburbs and beyond where many Veterans are known to reside. The Veterans MMU will also serve National Guard and Reserve personnel by engaging National Guard and Reserve units at their service headquarters shortly after they return home from duty.
To schedule the Veterans Mobile Health Unit for an event, contact Tyler Goodwine at 708-202-27179 or email him at tyler.goodwine@va.gov.
