ONE Neighborhood Builders recently unveiled our new mobile healthcare trailer, which will enable us to bring healthcare services – and more – to members of the community!

Almost 30% of Olneyville residents do not own vehicles, and mobile health services are a great way to connect with under-served populations. While the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for increasing access to healthcare, the trailer can be used for a host of purposes: health fairs, flu shot clinics, and even community meetings. In fact, it’s available for community use; call us for more info!
