California health exchange to hand out millions in outreach grants

CICERO, IL - FEBRUARY 22: Fourth-grader Arylu Paniagua, 9, receives an immunization shot from registered nurse Patricia McGleam in the Loyola Pediatric Mobile Health Unit, parked outside Columbus West Elementary School, February 22, 2005 in Cicero, Illinois. The Loyola Pediatric Mobile Health Unit, the first 'doctor's office on wheels' in the Midwest which provides free medical care to underserved and uninsured children, reached its 1,500 clinic visit in the community with this stop. The unit, the first if its kind in the world, serves as a national model for other children's hospitals and started traveling in the fall of 1998 with one community partner and now has 350 community partners in the Chicago area.
