"I wanted to create a space where practicing specialists in obstetrics and gynecology could literally drive ourselves to a community that needed practitioners, pop open and see folks the way that we see them in our offices."
"The mobile clinic is a joyful F-U to the medical system, reflecting a desire to provide care in a way that feels more personal and accessible."
Dr. Mary Fariba Afsari, an OB-GYN in Portland, Oregon, transformed her practice by purchasing an RV to create a mobile clinic. This innovative approach aimed to provide gynecological care directly to communities lacking access to healthcare. Afsari's journey reflects her desire to break away from traditional medical settings and offer a more personal and accessible service. Her book, 'Labor: One Woman's Work,' details her professional evolution and her exploration of her family's Iranian heritage, emphasizing the importance of community in healthcare.
