About Mobile Medical Unit - Healthcare for the Homeless

A Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) is a vehicle that is equipped with medical equipment and staffed by healthcare professionals to provide medical care to people who are homeless or live in underserved communities. These units can be used to provide a variety of services, including primary care, dental care, mental health care, and substance abuse treatment.
