On Friday, February 12, the New England Chapter of the March of Dimes (MOD) and the Real Estate Foundation collectively delivered a $30,000 check to Yale School of Medicine’s Community Healthcare Van’s Mobile Health Unit. March of Dimes also secured a $30,000 matching gift from its partner the Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation in Connecticut, totaling $60,000 to help the Mobile Health Unit expand its capacity.
In April 2020, the van was quickly repurposed to serve neighborhoods in New Haven by helping combat COVID-19 and providing postpartum visits for mothers and their infants, coordinated with telehealth visits with their doctor. Since then, the Community Health Care Van’s Mobile Health Unit has made more than 600 visits to patients, focusing on new mothers and babies, by helping them avoid unnecessary use of public transit or extra travel to doctor’s appointments during coronavirus.
