WellStone Transforming Care with Mobile Mental Health Clinic

WellStone is preparing to hit the road in Alabama’s first Mobile Mental Health Clinic, once again expanding access to quality behavioral health care in our community.

This innovative “clinic on wheels,” built by industry leader Vandoit, will deliver on-site mental health and psychiatric services to individuals who face barriers like transportation, scheduling conflicts, or limited access to providers. By bringing care directly to people—when they can’t come to us—WellStone is redefining what accessibility in mental health care looks like.

In early 2025, WellStone placed the order for the mobile unit and worked hand-in-hand with the Vandoit team to customize the design. Every detail—from the welcoming interior to the clinical setup—was carefully planned to ensure the space feels safe, functional, and therapeutic.

The result: a fully equipped, mobile clinic capable of delivering counseling, psychiatric evaluations, and follow-up care across Madison County.

And the best part? The vehicle was ahead of schedule and arrived earlier this month!

Reaching Those Who Need It Most

At launch, the Mobile Mental Health Clinic will serve several of WellStone’s collaborating agencies, including:

  • First Stop

  • Downtown Rescue Mission

These partnerships will ensure that when the clinic hits the road, it immediately reaches those most in need—people who might not otherwise have access to care.

To make sure the service is consistent and reliable, WellStone’s Chief Clinical Officer, Josaylon Henry, is finalizing a rotating schedule that determines how often the mobile clinic will visit each site. The goal: maximize accessibility and continuity of care.

This project was made possible through a generous grant from the Huntsville Hospital Community Health Initiative and Jean Wessel Templeton Committees. Their investment supports WellStone’s mission to ensure that no one in our community is left behind when it comes to mental health care.

As the program gets underway, WellStone will share updates, impact stories, and data on how this mobile model transforms lives.

Because when mental health care is within reach—hope travels further.
