Thank you, MOMobile, for 25 years of service!
St. Joseph's MOMobile has been providing pregnant women-in-need with prenatal care for 25 years!
St. Joseph’s Hospital created the MOMobile in 1996 to address the growing need for prenatal care across the Valley. The MOMobile is essentially an obstetrics office on wheels—a trailer that’s been renovated to include exam rooms and ultrasound equipment to bring professional prenatal care to moms-to-be who might otherwise never receive medical attention during their pregnancies.
The MOMobile makes scheduled visits throughout the Valley every day of the week, returning to the same locations on correlating days to offer patients continuity of care. During their visit to the MOMobile, women can discuss pregnancy concerns with an experienced obstetrics nurse practitioner. Together they will listen to the baby’s heartbeat, take measurements to ensure healthy development, discuss proper nutrition and create a birth plan.
The donor-supported maternity-care “office on wheels” is fully equipped with two exam rooms, a private consult room, portable ultrasound unit, blood-draw lab and waiting areas. Thanks to St. Joseph’s MOMmobile, women-in-need are being treated to early and continuous prenatal care by a certified nurse midwife and experienced nurse practitioners, who have proudly ushered more than 2,500 babies to healthy deliveries at St. Joseph’s Hospital over the past two decades.
The MOMobile is fully funded through donations to St. Joseph's Foundation. Thank you for donating generously to support this amazing service to our community.
