Juniper Mobile Classroom
In order to best serve our Appalachian communities, Juniper Health was able to secure a grant through the Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA) for a mobile classroom unit. This mobile unit allows Juniper Health Educators to offer unique and hands-on programming experiences. For more information on how to bring the Educational Mobile Unit to your organization or community event, please contact an Educator.
