“We have areas in our community where access to health care can be difficult . Our goal is to make immunizations and other Public Health services more accessible to our community . By utilizing our Mobile Health Services Unit , we will be able to reach clients in rural areas of our county like North San Juan and the town of Washington . We also plan to take the mobile unit to Grass Valley , Nevada City , Penn Valley , and Truckee to provide flu shots and other health services to remove barriers to accessing these services” said Kathy Cahill , Public Health Director .
