Today, your organization is exploring or has decided to launch a mobile healthcare (medical, dental, or specialty care) outreach program to serve local and/or statewide communities, or business opportunities that may allow you to expand your practice. A grant or loan application is due, or your organization has already secured funding. In purchasing a mobile unit … you want to know, what are your options and costs? Our role is to partner with you in reviewing program needs, understanding patient workflow throughout the interior clinic, and identifying vehicle requirements.
New mobile clinic
Contract with a health-specialty vehicle manufacturer to build a mobile clinic on a brand-new chassis with a new interior clinic designed to your floor plan requirements. Reflecting on this information, we will refer you to leading manufacturers who can best meet your requirements, budget, and timeline.
Production timelines for new builds are typically 9–12 months and can extend to 12–18 months depending on supply-chain conditions. Manufacturer quotes can range from $300,000 to $500,000 or more, impacted by required medical or dental equipment, vehicle size, gas or diesel engine, and added features such as a bathroom, wheelchair lift, or slide-outs. Throughout this process, The Authority provides informed guidance so your organization can evaluate proposals confidently and make a well- informed decision.
Pre-owned/used mobile clinic
We assist your organization in evaluating the options for acquiring a new or pre-owned mobile clinics ~ obtaining quotes and negotiating prices, providing photos, videos, Zoom tours, inspection reports, and interior floor plans.
Conversion mobile clinic
Vehicle conversion is an efficient and cost-effective approach to building a mobile health clinic. The process begins with locating a suitable pre-owned vehicle of recent vintage with low-mileage ~ such as a Class A vehicle, sprinter-type van, or truck-style chassis selected for its mechanical integrity and exceptional exterior/interior condition. The existing interior of the selected vehicle is removed and rebuilt to your floorplan specifications, including the installation of exam tables, dental chairs, laboratories/workspaces, bathrooms, or wheelchair accessibility features.
Delivery of your mobile clinic is generally 3-6 months or less. Conversion, using a pre-owned vehicle, provides the advantage of acquiring a newly built customized clinic interior at a fraction of the cost and production time (vs building on a brand-new vehicle), and offers a practical solution for organizations seeking to deploy mobile services within an established budget and timeline.
Leasing a mobile clinic
Leasing a mobile clinic. Consider this option while waiting for funding and financing awards or approvals; need a mobile clinic on a short-term basis; or lease while a brand new one is being custom built for your organization. Note however, leasing inventory is limited.
