The Delaware Public Health District (DPHD) has announced its Fall Clinic Tour for 2024, making healthcare more accessible with a series of convenient, walk-in clinics throughout Delaware County. With no appointments required, the tour will feature a mobile clinic that will travel to various locations, offering essential health services, including vaccinations, health screenings, and resources such as cribs for families in need.
A Convenient Healthcare Solution
In today’s fast-paced world, getting timely access to healthcare can be challenging. To ease this burden, DPHD’s mobile clinic will provide services directly to local neighborhoods, offering both convenience and care. The Fall Clinic Tour ensures that residents from Powell, Sunbury, Westerville, and other nearby areas have access to critical services, whether they need immunizations, wellness checks, or other healthcare resources.
The mobile clinic is equipped to deliver a range of services, making healthcare accessible to people of all ages without requiring them to visit a traditional medical office. This initiative by DPHD aligns with their mission to promote and protect the health of Delaware County residents.

The Fall Clinic Tour aims to support individuals who may face difficulties accessing traditional healthcare services, whether due to location, time constraints, or other barriers.
