Spokane Ronald McDonald Care Mobile Getting Around to Schools This Summer
SPOKANE, Wash. – The Spokane Ronald McDonald Care Mobile will be wheeling its way to various locations throughout Spokane County including Spokane schools and select McDonald’s Restaurant locations during the month of July providing mobile primary health care services.
The Care Mobile, staffed by nurse practitioners from the
Intercollegiate College of Nursing/WSU College of
Nursing, provides physicals, treatment of minor illnesses
and injuries, vision and hearing screening, and
immunizations to children and young people, newborn to
age 21.
The Care Mobile offers services to the community,
regardless of the ability of the patient to pay. A fee
for services payment plan allows for a large portion of
uninsured children to receive medical care. The Care
Mobile also accepts Washington State Health coupons, as
well as most insurance plans.
Primary sponsors of the Care Mobile include the Ronald
McDonald House Charities of Spokane, Spokane
McDonald’s Restaurant and several local funding
partners. The Care Mobile is operated by the
Intercollegiate College of Nursing/WSU College of Nursing
and Inland Northwest Health Services. The following
schedule provides the date and location where the Care
Mobile can be found this summer.

HubFest gears students entering grades six and seven up for the school year by inviting them to come by the school for a trial run. It transforms the traditional summertime “no school” rule into an onsite learning experience. The event allows incoming middle school students to become familiar with lockers, classrooms and students in their new school setting. The Care Mobile will be on site at all the HubFest events providing physicals and immunizations to middle schools students needing these and other health care services.
