Froedtert & MCW Maternal Mobile Clinic

The Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin health network is proud to launch something new. It's called the Maternal Mobile Clinic — a one-of-a-kind service that brings care into local communities to support mothers with safe and accessible care. 

What Is the Maternal Mobile Clinic

The clinic is a very unique concept in the fact that simply, as you can see, it's on wheels. We can move the care to the patients that we serve. The intent, and that was has always been the intent of the project, is to take the clinic out to those underserved patient populations where we know that there are healthcare deserts. 

The Maternal Mobile Clinic is an endeavor that we've been working on for about 18 months to 2 years. And, in thought process, it's been decades of time. We can provide full-scope prenatal and postpartum care to our moms in the underserved patient populations and in those health care deserts throughout the city of Milwaukee. 

Maternal Mobile Clinic Services

The intent is to help patients feel comfortable coming to access health care, so we can have healthy moms and ultimately then we'll get healthy babies. This mobile clinic offers prenatal care, postnatal care, STI screening, cervical cancer screening and vaccinations. It also offers breastfeeding support and psychiatric care. It basically offers anything that a new pregnant mom would potentially need. 

Why Choose the Maternal Mobile Clinic

Someone should choose the Maternal Mobile Clinic because it's a one-stop shop. We know the maternal mortality rate in the city of Milwaukee is very high - higher than some third-world countries. And I think just having access to prenatal care is so important, and we know that it is lacking in the city of Milwaukee. So bringing prenatal care to our community, giving access to patients, having wonderful community support with our partners as part of the mobile clinic, I think is all very important. 

My role as part of the Maternal Mobile Clinic is to provide that prenatal care to patients. I'm incredibly passionate at providing prenatal care. I've been working in the city of Milwaukee as a certified nurse midwife for many, many, many years, and I have always had a dream of having a mobile clinic and bringing prenatal care to our patients. And to see it live is phenomenal.
