The mobile unit has been parked at Adventist Health White Memorial’s campus to serve as an extension of the emergency room for non-COVID-19 patients. With 960-square-feet, the dental unit is equipped with six exam chairs and the ability to perform X-rays.

Both QueensCare and Adventist Health employees will staff the mobile unit.

Typically, the QueensCare “Whitening McQueen” dental unit provides dental exams to uninsured and low-income communities in Los Angeles.
