NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mutual of America announced today that Ronald McDonald Care Mobile was named a Merit Finalist in the 2014 Community Partnership Award competition.
In 2007, Ronald McDonald House Charities® of the Southwest launched the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile program in partnership with Medical Center Hospital to bring free or low-cost medical, dental and health education services to underserved children in their own communities in Ector County, Texas.
More than 12,200 children up to age 18 and their families have received services since the clinic started in local elementary schools. These services include: primary care, well-child visits, referrals, immunizations, hearing and vision screening, nutrition counseling, dental and hygiene education, and more.
