The Road Ahead | Care In Motion: On The Road – Episode 6

What would it take to bring healthcare everywhere it’s needed? After a season spent traveling alongside patients, providers, and communities, Episode 6 of Care In Motion: On The Road looks ahead. What have we learned? What’s standing in the way? And what will it take to make mobile healthcare a sustainable, integrated part of how care is delivered? Dr. Nancy Oriol, founder of Boston’s Family Van and a pioneer in mobile healthcare, joins Don Blanchon, longtime healthcare executive and co-founder of Driving Health Forward, to explore where mobile healthcare goes from here. Together, they reflect on the lessons learned over decades of bringing care directly into communities, why trust remains one of mobile healthcare’s greatest strengths, and how mobile healthcare can expand its reach without losing the relationships that make it work. From funding and policy to technology, partnerships, and the people behind the work, we look at what’s possible when healthcare is designed to reach people where they are. And we end the season where we began — with a simple but powerful idea: Sometimes the most important step in healthcare is the one it takes toward us.
