Traveling Flu Crew | Mobile Urgent Care

Flu season is here!

Every year, somewhere between five and twenty percent of the U.S. population contract the flu. The flu can be transmitted by contact and airborne measures and is especially dangerous for young children, seniors and those with other chronic illnesses. While most seek treatment at an emergency room or urgent care clinic, by exposing their germs to others, they’re only causing further spread of the virus. Thankfully, DispatchHealth travels so the flu doesn’t. With a quick call, the DispatchHealth Traveling Flu Crew will bring high-quality medical care to your home.

Hear it from an expert

A person that has caught the flu virus can infect others up to six feet away! Even scarier, adults can infect other people one day before their flu symptoms even develop and they realize they’re sick. This means that we should all be careful about spreading germs, whether we feel ill or not.

Lisa M.

Denver, CO

It was fantastic to not have to leave my house. And it cost the same as my copay to go to Urgent Care.

Nancy T.

Houston, TX

Couldn’t have been happier with the service I received. They arrived 35 minutes after I requested them, ruled out strep, gave me some practical advice, and prescribed some medication. They even had the first days worth of medication to give me on the spot. Also saved me being exposed to other illnesses in an urgent care facility.

Chris F.

Colorado Springs, CO

The staff was fast, friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, and very understanding of my concerns and ailments.

Paula D.

Las Vegas, NV

They came to my mom's house and helped out when she wasn't feeling good. So much better than trying to get her to a traditional urgent care with her physical limitations. They sent her prescriptions to the pharmacy and updated her primary care physician on her condition. This is an awesome service. Thank you isn't enough to show my appreciation.
