Winnebago Specialty Vehicles Offer Creative Custom Solutions for Mobile Services
From a mobile medical clinic to community outreach bookmobiles and many more applications!

By: GoLife Staff

The Winnebago Specialty Vehicles team has been providing custom vehicles since 1968, when the team customized their first mobile dental unit. Since then, they have built a wide range of vehicles for many commercial and consumer applications, including mobile medical units, bloodmobiles, mobile offices, child advocacy centers, mobile preschools, bookmobiles, and food trucks. Many of these mobile applications are making a meaningful impact in communities by providing essential services to individuals who might otherwise lack access to care or food.

“There are thousands of medical outreach vehicles serving communities across the country, but the need for these services greatly outweighs the supply. These vehicles provide critical services and help reduce overall healthcare costs. Winnebago Specialty Vehicles is a leading supplier of the commercial shell platforms to serve this growing market,” shared Rob Kim, Director Specialty Vehicles.

Bryan Aitchison, Winnebago Specialty Vehicles production manager, is proud of the work done by the team: “There’s immense pride in creating these custom builds. I can’t speak highly enough about this team; we are a close-knit group that truly makes things happen.”

If you are curious about what it takes to create these custom mobile solutions, here are a few case studies of Winnebago Specialty Vehicles:

Mobile Lung Unit: In order to meet the challenge of increasing access to lung cancer screenings, Winnebago Specialty Vehicles partnered with Samsung Neurologica and Summit Bodyworks to create a mobile CT clinic for lung screenings.
