Colorado Springs, CO – November 27, 2024 — Save the Storks recently delivered its 104th Mobile Medical Clinic (MMC) to Gianna’s House, a pregnancy health clinic in Brewster, NY. Gianna’s House celebrated its first anniversary in 2024 but its staff, led by Julie Noce, felt called to serve even more women.
Enter the Save the Storks Mobile Medical Clinic, owned and operated by local pregnancy health clinics. On board this Mobile Medical Clinic a woman will receive no-cost maternal healthcare, including pregnancy tests, STI tests, ultrasounds and other services, all provided by licensed medical professionals. These buses bridge the gap between pregnancy health clinics and women so they can access quality healthcare no matter where they are.
This MMC in particular is named “Siobhán” (shih-VAWN) after Dr. Siobhan Fitzpatrick. Dr. Fitzpatrick is a local investor who specifically wanted to raise money for an MMC serving New York City and its surrounding areas. Her dedication to serving women and saving lives led her to support the build of this MMC.
Now that Gianna’s House staff is fully trained, this MMC is hitting the road to serve the Bronx in New York City, making it the fourth Save the Storks MMC in New York State. Access to maternal healthcare in the Bronx is critical, and this MMC will provide the care that women in the community need.
“The mobile medical clinic program has been instrumental in serving women with true, compassionate healthcare,” said Diane Ferraro, CEO at Save the Storks. “Partnering with Julie Noce and her team at Gianna’s House to bring the ‘Siobhán’ mobile unit to women in the Bronx demonstrates that there are caring medical professionals in New York who believe that life-affirming maternal healthcare is desperately needed. Taking this mobile unit out to the communities puts love into action and shows women who have traditionally been underserved that they matter and deserve the utmost care.”
