City leaders shared their commitment to expanding this model, aiming to keep mobile health units traveling throughout Pompano Beach and neighboring areas to reach more underserved populations.
The event also included educational sessions on healthy living and managing chronic conditions, empowering attendees with knowledge alongside direct care. Organizers hope these efforts will foster stronger community connections and improve overall wellness.
