Memorial Healthcare brings free mobile health clinics to Pembroke Pines all summer

Pembroke Pines residents will have access to free medical care and health-related services all summer long, thanks to Memorial Healthcare System’s “One City at a Time” initiative. The program officially launches with a community event on June 21 at the Charles F. Dodge City Center and continues through August 14 with weekly visits by mobile health units.

  • Tuesdays: Memorial Park (behind Charles F. Dodge City Center), 10601 SW City Center Boulevard

The goal of the program is to remove barriers to healthcare access—especially for uninsured or underinsured individuals—and to promote preventive care before health conditions become emergencies.

“We know that not having easy access to care is one of the social determinants that impact a person’s overall health,” said Dionne Blackwood, FACHE, vice president of Memorial Primary Care and Ambulatory Services. “That’s why we’ve made the commitment to have our mobile units on-site at community locations to make it easier for people to care for themselves and their families.”

The “One City at a Time” initiative has already been introduced in Hallandale Beach, Dania Beach, Hollywood, and Miramar. Pembroke Pines becomes the latest city to benefit from the program’s hyper-localized outreach model.

Memorial Primary Care is part of the South Florida-based Memorial Healthcare System, which has been delivering patient-centered care across the region for more than 70 years.
