Cone Health to Cut Ribbon on Two New Mobile Health Units

Community tours will showcase Healthy Heart and OB/GYN mobile clinics in East Greensboro

   

Greensboro –  Cone Health celebrates the launch of two mobile health units that bring high-quality care and health education into neighborhoods across the Piedmont. The ribbon cutting will be followed by tours on Monday, March 23, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Renaissance Shops at Phillips Avenue in Greensboro. Tours are informational only. No medical services will be provided.

Why this matters:

North Carolina is one of the few states seeing rising birth numbers, yet early prenatal care continues to lag in the Piedmont Triad. Nearly one in four women in the region does not receive first‑trimester care, and Guilford and Forsyth counties rank among the lowest in the state for early prenatal visits. Launching the OB/GYN mobile unit helps close this gap by bringing timely, trusted maternal care directly into neighborhoods where it is needed.Healthy Heart Bus

Heart disease also remains a major health concern in the Piedmont. In 2022, heart disease was the leading cause of death in Guilford County, with a mortality rate of 181 deaths per 100,000 residents. The Cone Health Healthy Heart mobile unit helps address this need by offering screenings, education, and preventive care for conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol—conditions that drive much of the region’s cardiovascular risk. Together, both units make preventive care easier for families to stay healthier throughout pregnancy and beyond.  

What is launching: 

Healthy Heart Mobile Unit:

  • Focuses on prevention and long-term heart health. 
  • Provides education and screenings for the early detection and management of high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and obesity. 
  • Offers personalized guidance and follow-up connections to care. 

OB/GYN Mobile Unit: 

  • Brings compassionate obstetric and gynecologic care. 
  • Supports preventive services, screenings, education, and referrals related to maternal, reproductive, and gynecologic health. 
  • “Our teams designed these mobile clinics to make prevention simpler and more personal,” said Deno Adkins, senior vice president, ambulatory and consumer services, Cone Health. “By combining education, screening, and coordinated follow up, we can help more people stay on top of their health needs.”
