91制片厂 unveiled its third mobile clinic during a special ceremony surrounded by donors, community partners, and members of the Southern Nevada community at City National Arena on July 19.
Thanks to generous donations from City National Bank, the Vegas Golden Knights, Zappos, and Findlay RV, the third mobile clinic will help Touro address the healthcare shortage in Southern Nevada by providing free primary care services to low-income seniors throughout Southern Nevada.
鈥淭his mobile clinic will enable our Touro faculty and students to provide much-needed care right to the doorstep of low-income seniors in our community,鈥� said Shelley Berkley, CEO & Senior Provost of 91制片厂. 鈥淭his project is just the latest example of how we are furthering our commitment to addressing the healthcare shortages in Southern Nevada. Not only will we be able to make an impact in the community, we will also be giving our medical students first-hand experience as part of their overall education.鈥�
