Reaching Families Where They Are
Clinica Sierra Vista’s (CSV) Mobile Unit Program continued to expand across Kern and Fresno Counties, delivering quality care to the communities we serve. With support from the Kern Health Systems Quality Grant, we launched our third mobile clinic, the Steve Schilling Mobile Unit, to reach families facing barriers such as transportation challenges, homelessness, or lack of insurance. Operating three full days a week, the program established regular clinics at two recovery centers and added a full-day clinic at Poverello House, ensuring high-need communities have consistent access to care where they live and seek support.
Beyond medical care, these units act as trusted access points, helping patients connect to mental health services, ECM, and ID/voucher programs. Each mobile clinic is staffed by a dedicated team of three Medical Assistants, one LVN, and a lead provider, delivering every visit with dignity, quality, and compassion.

Appointments and Registration
Before a visit to the mobile clinic, patients may need to fill out a short registration form. This process helps our care team understand your health needs, verify your information, and ensure you receive the appropriate care.
Please bring the following, if available:
- Photo ID
- Insurance or Medi-Cal card, if applicable
- Immunization record or vaccine card
- List of current medications

If you do not have one or more of these items, please still contact us or speak with our mobile clinic team. We will do our best to help you access care.
Immunization Records
If you or your child are visiting the mobile clinic for vaccines, please bring an immunization card or vaccine record if you have one. This helps our care team review which vaccines have already been received and determine which vaccines may be needed.
If you do not have a copy of your immunization record, our team may still be able to help. We can review available information and guide you on the next steps.
