Public Health Mobile Unit (PHMU) is a team of healthcare professionals who travel across Nova Scotia in specially equipped vans, bringing Public Health services directly to communities.
Whether it's vaccinations, testing or helping people find the health services they need, PHMU makes it easier for Nova Scotians to access care close to home.
The team is guided by a simple goal: meet people where they are and provide the services they need. Some clinics are open to everyone, while others are offered to groups who may face barriers to accessing care, including seniors, students, rural communities, First Nations communities and other equity-seeking populations.
Public Health Mobile Unit also plays a key supporting role during emergencies such as wildfires, hurricanes and cases of communicable disease. Because the team is mobile, they can quickly travel to affected communities, partner with the health system and other community organizations to provide support where it is needed most.
By bringing services directly to communities, the PHMU helps ensure more Nova Scotians can access care, information and support when and where they need it.

Nova Scotia Health's new One Person One Record system has rolled out at facilities in the Halifax Regional and West Hants municipalities, and some provincial Mental Health and Addictions Program services.
During this time of transition to a better patient-record system, our teams will keep working to get you the care you need.
You may notice staff in purple vests helping our care teams use the new system.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.
