Why does the job exist?

 
The Public Health Division (PHD) received capital outlay funds from the legislature to purchase five (5) mobile public health units.  The legislature funded a base increase starting in SFY2026 to support designated staffing and operations of these units to provide mobile public health services to persons experiencing homelessness and other groups with health disparities.

2) Provide clinical support for priority public health services conducted on the unit including taking vitals for patients, doing phlebotomy, coordinating clinical supplies within the scope of duties for this role, and following clinical protocols.  Operate under orders given by physicians and other clinicians.
3) Provide support for public health services such as stocking units, cleaning and preparing exam room and blood draw areas, maintaining records of outreach activities, assisting patients with navigation and scheduling of follow up services, and other roles appropriate to this classification. Report on outreach events using the approved data collection system such as RedCap.
4) Provide support to Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) services on the mobile unit and at Public Health Offices (PHO) such as by doing patient reminders, navigation to other services provided by PHD or outside partners, tracking incentives, assisting with medication access and other services that retain MOUD patients in care.
5) Provide the same services in Public Health Offices (PHO), as assigned, during times when mobile units are not in operation.
