Date:6/11/2009

state-of-the-art digital mammography and video telemedicine regardless of the van's proximity to a clinic or hospital. The team can provide pap, pelvic and breast exams, urinalysis, gonorrhea and chlamydia testing, cholesterol, glucose and waive testing, urinalysis and immunization services.

"The island of Hawaii's mammography screening rates are alarmingly well below the national average. Kaiser Permanente's Mobile Health Vehicle will contribute to increasing these rates for our members, and by providing free mammograms to community health center-qualified uninsured women," said Daryl Kurozawa, MD, Kaiser Permanente Hawaii. "We will be partnering with community organizations to refer women for mammograms, and will make it available at employer sites to provide screenings and other health services for our members."

Kaiser Permanente's efforts take wellness initiatives beyond the doctor's office to build healthier communities - and to provide Kaiser Permanente members and the uninsured with connectivity, ease and convenience to access health care wherever they are.
