Health on the Go (HOTG!) is a community-driven project designed to make health resources more accessible and equitable in Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center. We are not a mobile clinic, but together we launched this project to assure the residents of both cities that there are community organizations that care about their health. Your well-being is our priority.

The Health on the Go (HOTG!) initiative is an effort to create a better-coordinated ecosystem of public health players to improve access to needed services. The HOTG collaborative consists of Brooklyn Park City, Brooklyn Center City, Hennepin County Public Health, BCCS Health Resource Center, ACER, COPAL, CAPI, and Siengkane Lao. Modeled after the successful “Rec on the Go'' (ROTG!) program, HOTG! focuses on partnering with local organizations to provide health and wellness resources where critical healthcare services such as immunization clinics, screening services, youth-specific dental check-ups, dental kits, testing kits, health education, etc. are brought to community spaces.

The HOTG! initiatives were developed with holistic care in mind, creating a hub for essential resources such as culturally specific food, rental assistance, eviction prevention, transportation assistance (free metro cards), winter supplies, back-to-school supplies, etc.

Our goal is to be of service to our community members and as the weather warms we will be out more and more.

Your voice and your view about health and wellness matter. We invite you to connect with us and share your health concerns, and stories on how the last year has affected you and to give us feedback to ensure our HOTG! events meet your needs.
