St. Paul's PACE Roving Clinic Virtual Tour

Senior Care and Nursing Homes Tomorrow

Angi: St. Paul's PACE Roving Clinic is finally here and ready to hit the streets to serve our seniors in San Diego. We're so excited to show you around. Dr. Lee, tell us about our clinic on wheels.

Dr. Lee: Well, if you all remember about a year and a half ago, when pandemic hits San Diego, we were not able to bring in our frail seniors to the clinic. Because of that, we have to develop new and innovative ways to serve them. At that time, we did not have any actual clinic on wheels. What we did was we converted one of our transport vans so we can serve our seniors there.

Now we have a customized van to serve our seniors. This is specially built so we can serve our seniors. Now we can take this van and take the clinic without doctors or providers or nurses to go to our patient's home so we can serve them better.

Vena: Hi, my name is Vena, and as you can see, we have everything we need here to safely and securely treat our patients.

We have computer systems in the front and the back. Plenty of storage for whatever we need. We have sinks, a nice, comfortable blood draw station with more storage underneath. An exam chair that fully extends. So it can be used for multiple types of visits. We also have a wheelchair ramp for patients that aren't able to walk up into the van.

Angi: Eric, aren't you so excited about our new Roving Clinic?

Eric: Heck. Yes I am. Did you know where the only PACE program doing this?

Angi: Wow, that's amazing.

Eric: We'll bring the care directly to our patients. Everything from provider visits, health fairs, lab draws, seasonal vaccinations, physical exam, infusion, wound care, and so much more.

Dr. Lee: As you can see, this is a game changer for us, how we care for our participants. In fact, we think this is a future for our care and we can take the clinic or the home and provide senior care at home.

Angi: And there you have it everyone. A game changer. Words from our medical director, Dr. Lee, we're super excited. And we can't wait to get this show on the road.
