Cone Health Launches Two Mobile Clinics for Heart, Prenatal Care

Cone Health rolled out two mobile clinics Monday morning at the Renaissance Shops, bringing cardiovascular screenings and prenatal care directly into underserved Piedmont communities through units the health system said are built to reach patients who lack consistent access to those services.

The Healthy Heart Mobile Unit will screen for high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol and pair those screenings with patient education. A separate OB/GYN mobile unit will provide gynecologic services, including prenatal and reproductive care. Cone Health said both units are designed not just to screen patients but to connect them with follow-up care afterward.

The ribbon-cutting, held at 10 a.m. at the Renaissance Shops, came alongside community tours of the two vehicles.

The health system pointed to sobering local data to explain why the units are needed. Heart disease remains a leading cause of death in Guilford County, Cone Health noted in its news release. Guilford and Forsyth counties rank among the lowest in North Carolina for early prenatal care, the health system added, a statistic that frames the OB/GYN unit as a direct response to a measurable gap in regional maternal health access.

Cone Health has not yet released a full operational schedule for either unit, including planned community stops, hours, patient eligibility details, or whether services are billed to insurance or offered at no cost. Those details, along with staffing information and any community partnerships, are expected to become clearer as the program moves from launch into regular service across the Piedmont.
