Today, Banner Health unveiled its HealthMobile, an ongoing mobile health unit which will travel to schools throughout the Valley each week to provide primary care for thousands of uninsured and underinsured children. Acting like a mobile doctor's office, the Banner Health HealthMobile will provide children--up to 21--with treatment for health problems, physicals for camp or sports, and routine annual check-ups. (A parent must be present.) With this new service, Banner Health hopes to help an additional 2,500 kids each year.

Mondays at Buckeye Elementary School, 210 South 6th Street, Buckeye (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.)
