UC Davis' new mobile clinic aims to provide mental health services and essential medical care to students and employees on campus. Health34 is an initiative launched in September 2023 by the University of California, Davis Fire Department. Health care provider Stormi Homdas said they responded. Since its launch, we have received over 200 inquiries. “Our calls are very diverse. There is a lot of anxiety. Sometimes we think of self-harm,” Homdus said. The program pairs medical professionals with paramedics who respond to calls from anyone on campus 24/7. The goal is to provide support to students and provide free resources such as emergency housing, food, and counseling. All students have to do is call non-emergency services. “When we receive a call, we either go to their location or decide on a public place to meet them,” Homdus said. A 2021 University of California, Davis report found that one in three girlfriends of students experienced severe psychological distress. Health 34 can only provide basic medical care, but our providers are trained to identify emergencies and can connect you to 911. A friend, someone who helps them understand the system in which they live, work and learn,” Homdus said. For non-emergency issues, support, and navigation to services, you can contact Health 34 24/7 at (530)754-3434.
