Wellness on Wheels

Josephine County residents, a diverse and largely rural population, often have difficulty getting medical and dental care. There is a lack of primary care providers and a lack of coordination between care providers, creating a fragmented health care delivery system. Limited transportation, winter weather, and busy schedules make it difficult to travel to Grants Pass to see a physician or dentist. The demand for health care services is expanding more quickly than health care dollars, resulting in many people not receiving the care they need.

Pathways to Care Network is here to help provide a solution!
We are a collaborative organization of public and private health care professionals, working together to reduce the barriers to quality care. We are able to do this by receiving financial and in-kind support from grants, service organizations, local businesses and individuals.

In order to help provide medical and dental services for our rural population, PCN recently remodeled the Wellness On Wheels for expanded use in the community.

Wellness on Wheels is a 31-foot recreational vehicle, remodeled in 2005, and outfitted with medical and dental equipment which allows PCN members to provide a wide variety of services.

It features a private exam room that doubles as a lab, a spacious clinic area for health screenings, and a section dedicated to dental care. WOW is staffed by local health and dental professionals to bring preventative care, education, and screenings out into the county.

The WOW services do not replace personal physicians or dentists, nor does WOW provide urgent or primary care. However, we do provide immunizations, flu shots, dental screening, nutrition counseling, personal health and senior wellness classes, dental preventative service for children, alcohol and drug screening, and health education and prevention.

Bring WOW to your community

Our goal is to have WOW on the road every day of the year, bringing health and dental care to every corner of Josephine County. Your group, school or organization can sponsor a WOW visit. Contact PCN with any questions regarding services provided by WOW or to request the details of a WOW visit to your community.

You can also make a reservation by filling in the form on the right, or check when WOW will be in your community!
