The mobile medical service is now teaming up with Tucson Medical Center in order to keep people out of the hospital in the first place and keep those who leave TMC from needing to come back.
Colorado-based DispatchHealth came to the Old Pueblo in February 2021. The company operates SUVs that serve as medical “rovers.”
Nurse practitioner Robyn Green is one of the frontline workers bringing this acute care into Tucsonans’ homes. She says DispatchHealth most often responds to issues like fatigue, weakness, respiratory or heart problems and urinary tract infections. Three rovers currently cover most of the Tucson area—from Saddlebrooke to Green Valley and Three Points to Houghton/I-10—with a fourth rover expected in the coming weeks.
“There’s no real ‘quick’ in medicine anymore. And that’s just kind of the nature of the beast, status post-pandemic.” said Dr. Mansoor Jatoi, a hospitalist and part of the primary team in charge of discharging patients from TMC.
