Healthcare isn't confined within the four walls of a clinic. Sometimes, it’s on wheels, navigating straight to those in need. Open Arms Healthcare Center, known for its trailblazing healthcare initiatives in locations from Jackson to Hattiesburg to Gulfport, has been rewriting the healthcare narrative with its Mobile Clinic.

Led by a dedicated community health team, the program strives for an consolidation of community-centric and clinical approaches to enhance community health.
