Health Wheels

At MPTF, we know the unique demands of a career in the entertainment industry. Many necessities are postponed or sacrificed completely due to long hours or the inability to get away, including getting medical care. Health Wheels is a mobile health program that delivers healthcare services directly to people where they work.
Health Wheels is a 33-foot fully functional and professional mobile health center with two comfortably sized, well-equipped private examination rooms and is staffed with a medical doctor, a licensed vocational nurse and a driver/patient registrar.
Health Wheels provides free screenings and health services and affordable comprehensive primary care. Services include: physical exams, “welcome to Medicare” visits, well-woman exams, EKGs, flu shots and other immunizations, blood pressure checks, cholesterol and glucose screenings, and vision and hearing checks.

Unexpected events don’t just happen in action movies. MPTF's Bridge to Health program makes sure temporarily uninsured or underinsured entertainment industry members continue to get the care they need. Bridge to Health provides basic healthcare services for one low fee of $25 per office visit. If necessary, basic lab services and x-rays will be provided at no extra charge at an MPTF health center and low-cost prescriptions will be available through a local network of pharmacies.
Specialty care and diagnostic studies are not available through the Bridge to Health program; if required, we will direct you to specialty care resources in the community. Bridge to Health visits are available by appointment only and eligibility will be determined when you call to schedule a visit.

Palliative Care Program
call 818-876-1260
MPTF provides support for individuals and families at any stage of illness and at any stage of life. Our Palliative Care Program is a multidisciplinary medical/social philosophy specializing in the relief of suffering and the achievement of best possible quality of life for patients with advanced illness, and their families.
Palliative care is sometimes misunderstood or mistaken for solely end-of-life care, but care can actually help a patient at any stage of illness and life. It is designed to support any other treatment patients receive by helping people to live comfortably throughout illness.
Our program is comprised of geriatricians, nurse practitioners, nurses, licensed clinical social workers, chaplains and rabbis, dieticians, and activity coordinators, and Palliative Care team members work closely with an individual’s primary physician to deliver well coordinated and communicated care. Guidance and counseling is also provided for those struggling with complex decision making about medical issues.
