The VA Texas Valley Coastal Bend Health Care System (VATVCBHCS) is proud to introduce the VA Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) to service the Rio Grande Valley and Corpus-Christi Laredo Area. The MMU will visit the following locations: Kingsville, Rockport, Alice, Carrizo Springs, Falfurrias, Port Isabel, Zapata, and Rio Grande City.
Q1. What services are offered on the MMU?
Services are scheduled routine Primary Care, Women's health, limited mental health, laboratory, and Audiology services. While most of our Primary Care will be by appointment, we will offer occasional walk-in availability. The clinic will not have pharmacy or radiology services on board. Patients with urgent healthcare needs should call or visit the nearest VA-staff clinic, urgent care clinic, or emergency department. Veterans must use an in-network urgent care provider and be eligible to utilize VA's urgent care benefit. If seeking emergency medical care at an emergency department, Veterans, or someone acting on behalf of the Veteran, must report emergency care to VA within 72 hours of the start of the emergency treatment.
Q2. What days will the MMU visit my city?

If you have a medical emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room at your expense, unless you are eligible for private care at VA expense: https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/ , https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-urgent-care-at-va-or-in-network-community-providers/
