Abstract

This invited commentary is in celebration of the 25^th anniversary of the Family Van, a mobile health clinic originally founded by the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and now a program of Harvard Medical School. Since 1992 The Family Van has been transforming care delivery by listening: the program was co-designed by community members and health care professionals and created a model of care that connects individuals within their community to both the larger health care system and social services.
