Mobile Clinic Expands January Visits Across Gallup Area Chapters

Tséhootsooí Medical Center (TMC) published its January schedule for the Mobile Health Clinic, and service blocks began on or around Jan. 2, 2026. The calendar lists multiple community stops and clinic dates across the region, including family-practice clinic dates at Wide Ruins and Lupton as well as recurring family-practice and mobile-clinic visits through January. A teen clinic targeted to Window Rock High School students was also included; that clinic is designated student-only.

The mobile clinic schedule provides times and locations for each stop and includes contact information for those seeking care. By bringing family-practice services into chapter communities near Gallup and across the Navajo Nation, the mobile clinic reduces travel burdens for residents who might otherwise face long drives to fixed medical centers. For many households in McKinley County, local stops can mean quicker access to routine care and follow-up appointments during January service blocks.

Window Rock High School students will have a dedicated teen clinic on the schedule. Because that clinic is student-only, families and guardians in the county should confirm eligibility and any required documentation or parental permissions with the medical center before planning visits. Other community stops listed for January open family-practice services to a wider population in nearby chapters; residents should verify specific times and locations to match services they need.

The Mobile Health Clinic’s January rounds run throughout the month, offering recurring opportunities rather than single one-off visits. That pattern supports continuity of care for chronic conditions, medication refills, and follow-up appointments more effectively than isolated outreach stops. Local officials and community health workers often rely on the mobile clinic to supplement fixed-site services and to reach chapters with limited local resources.

Residents who plan to use the mobile clinic should confirm the posted times, locations and contact details before traveling, as schedules and service availability can change. Checking with the medical center will provide the most current information on appointment requirements, eligibility and any documentation needed. The January schedule represents a direct effort to make primary care more accessible across McKinley County and neighboring Navajo Nation communities during the first weeks of 2026.
