NEW! MINERVA’S MOBILE HEALTH CHARIOT
The newest addition to our fleet, Minerva’s Mobile Health Chariot, is ready to roll to YOU!
Minerva’s Health Chariot is one part of UNCG’s growing service to underserved communities. The unit is a repurposed transit van, and its smaller size means it can reach more locations. It introduces a new feature to the fleet: integrated telehealth technology. Patients can connect with a primary care provider in real time during their visit, making follow-up and ongoing care easier.

Minerva’s Mobile Health Unit in the Making
On Aug. 12, 2023, the UNC Greensboro School of Nursing officially unveiled its new mobile clinic, known as Minerva’s Mobile Health, during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on UNCG’s campus.
“Now, with Minerva’s Mobile Health, we will be bringing our School of Nursing students, faculty, and staff to rural and underserved communities to make a remarkable, real-world impact,” said Chancellor Franklin D. Gilliam, Jr. “Our collective goal is simple: serve our neighbors by providing health care while educating tomorrow’s nurses with hands-on lifesaving skills – right in the communities that need them most.”
Minerva’s Mobile Health was made possible thanks to funding that the School of Nursing, in partnership with Cone Health, received last year from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The HRSA grant is for $3.7 million over four years.
Students in UNCG’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, as well as nurse practitioner students in the graduate program, will get clinical experiences in the mobile health unit and at pop-up clinics, eventually in six counties – Alamance, Caswell, Forsyth, Guilford, Randolph, and Rockingham.
