Imagine being able to reach even the most remote communities and save lives with essential medical services. That’s our vision at AVAN Mobility. We create vehicles that create possibilities that will improve people’s health all over the U.S.
Picture this: A mobile medical van pulling into a neighborhood, equipped to provide medical care right in the community of a sick family in a remote area of the United States. That’s just a glimpse of the power of the vehicles we design and manufacture. We’re dedicated to breaking down barriers that stand in the way of healthcare and transportation.

We have, and we’ve learned that with determination and creativity, there’s nothing we can’t overcome. Our clients can attest to our “can-do” approach. Challenges might arise, but they’re simply opportunities for us to shine.
How we started
AVAN Mobility is the result of years of innovation and a passion for making a difference. Let’s take a little journey back in time to where it all began.
Envision a place where innovation thrives and accessibility takes center stage. That’s the story of our company. For over a decade, we’ve been at the forefront of manufacturing mobile medical vans that help organizations transform lives.
We’re located in the U.S. and emerged from the shared dreams of two countries, each with the goal of spreading accessibility, innovation, and healthcare. It’s a story of collaboration that crosses borders, a story that emphasizes how the drive to make a difference knows no bounds.
Who we work with
At AVAN Mobility, we manufacture mobile medical vans for organizations that provide support to:
- Impoverished communities
- People with drug addictions
- Uninsured individuals who can’t afford healthcare
- Communities without access to healthcare and modern amenities
Here are some organizations and communities that use our mobile medical vans:
Native Reservations: Patients in Native reservations and communities face the challenge of distance. This makes access to basic healthcare a struggle. That’s where mobile medical vans come into play. They bring care to patients’ doorsteps, ensuring that no one is left behind. Some examples of Native Reservations where our mobile medical vans can be utilized are:
- Hopi Reservation
- Navajo Nation Reservation
Housing and homeless societies: Consider the efforts of organizations dedicated to ending homelessness. Their clients require more than just a roof over their heads; they need care right where they are. Mobile medical units can offer the support they need.
They also provide safe spaces for social workers and healthcare workers to provide much-needed care. It’s about more than just medical care; it’s about restoring dignity and providing hope.
Addictions services: There is a stigma that often surrounds addiction services. Traditional clinics might deter those in need from seeking help. Enter mobile medical units – private, approachable, and stigma-free spaces. Here, individuals can receive the support they deserve, without judgment or fear. It’s a step towards healing, acceptance, and a brighter future.
Non-emergency response services: Mobile medical units open doors to services like:
- Bloodwork
- Physical exams
- First aid
- Stretcher transportation
It’s about convenience, accessibility, and providing a safety net for those who need it most.
Our process
Our vehicles are crafted with precision. Across North America, these exceptional vehicles find their way to clients through a well-connected network of local partners.
From that first spark of research and vehicle design to the moment you drive off and the years beyond, we’re here. We offer a seamless start-to-finish experience. To us, it’s about being a reliable partner in your organization’s mission to make a difference.
Step 1: Discovery
The first step of your journey with AVAN Mobility is all about discovery. It’s a chance for us to get to know you, your needs, and how we can best support your mobile medical unit requirements.
You’ll have a dedicated account executive by your side, ready to listen and understand your organization’s requirements. In this phase, we’re not just about selling vehicles; we’re about creating a partnership that’s built on understanding and collaboration.
Think of the discovery phase as a conversation, not a sales pitch. It’s a chance for you to gauge if we at AVAN Mobility align with your organization’s vision and needs. Are we a good fit? Does our approach resonate with you? It’s about making a decision that feels right for both sides.
Your objectives take the spotlight. We’ll ask questions like:
- What are your goals?
- What do you envision for your organization’s mobile medical vehicle needs?
- Budget expectations are on the table too – no surprises, just open dialogue
As you step into this discovery phase, know that you’re not just exploring a purchase; you’re exploring a partnership. Your story matters to us, and we’re here to ensure our solutions work for you. Let’s move on to the second step.
Step 2: Needs analysis & vehicle demonstration
In step two, we’ll take a closer look at your needs and objectives. It’s a thorough analysis that ensures we’re on the same wavelength. The vehicles we discuss aren’t just random. They’re customized and tailored to your organization’s unique needs.
Consider step two as your front-row seat to discovery. It’s more than a meeting; it’s an experience. Whether in person or virtually, you’re given the opportunity to ask questions, see the vehicles up close, and understand the possibilities they hold.
You can see some of the various features of our vehicles, including:
- Custom medical unit equipment
- Optional features, such as a fridge and sink
- Flexible floor plan layouts
Your AVAN Mobility account executive will walk you through these features and explain how they’ll improve your operations. They’ll offer recommendations based on their expertise. It’s a collaborative effort, where you explore floor plan examples and work together to create a mobile medical van configuration that seamlessly aligns with your organization’s goals.
Once you’re equipped with all the information you need to get started, it’s decision time. This is where you weigh everything we’ve discussed. Once you get the green light from your organization, you’ll receive a detailed quote from us.
At this point, if you choose to move forward, a deposit of $50,000 seals the deal. You’ll then fill out two documents:
Sales agreement: This document includes the terms and conditions of your new mobile medical van.
Proforma invoice: A proforma invoice is an estimated invoice that’s used to request payment from a committed buyer. The proforma invoice includes all of the mobile medical van specifications and pricing.
If you’re concerned about meeting the financial obligations of a custom medical vehicle, we have a full article on payment options for mobile medical vans.
Step 3: Vehicle build and delivery
Once you’ve given us the thumbs-up, paid the deposit, and filled out the paperwork, the magic begins. Our team rolls up its sleeves and gets to work on crafting your custom mobile medical vehicle.
When your mobile medical vehicle is built, you’ll submit a final payment, and then we’ll deliver it to you. After that, we don’t just leave you in the dark. Our customer care team will be in touch to provide you with useful training resources, support, and vehicle service.
How long does the process take to get a mobile medical van?
At AVAN Mobility, we understand the importance of efficient timelines when it comes to meeting the needs of our clients. When you choose one of our standard, non-customized mobile medical vans, you can expect a delivery process that strikes a balance between quality and speed.
Delivery timeline: 4 to 6 months for standard builds
Our streamlined production and delivery process ensures that you receive your standard mobile medical unit within a reasonable timeframe. On average, it takes between 4 to 6 months from the initial order placement to the delivery of your vehicle. This duration includes the 3 stages we mentioned earlier. Keep in mind that custom builds can take longer if our engineering team needs to be involved.
Ensuring quality while meeting deadlines
While we prioritize timely delivery, we never compromise on the quality and reliability of our mobile medical units. Each vehicle undergoes meticulous engineering, manufacturing, and testing processes to ensure it meets our high standards before it reaches your organization’s hands. This commitment to excellence remains the same, regardless of the delivery timeline.
Communication throughout the process
During the 4 to 6 months, our team will remain in close communication with you, providing updates on the progress of your mobile medical van. We believe in transparency and keeping you informed every step of the way, ensuring that you have a clear understanding of the process and timeline.
Planning for success
If you’re considering getting a standard mobile medical vehicle from AVAN Mobility, we recommend factoring in the 4 to 6-month delivery timeline into your planning. This ensures that you receive your vehicle when you need it most, and allows us to uphold the high standards of quality that define our brand.
Mobile medical vans from AVAN Mobility
Now that you know more about who we are, how we started, who we work with, and how our process works, it’s time to look at the mobile medical vans we offer. Each of the four mobile medical vans we offer can be customized to fit the needs of your organization. The first mobile medical unit we offer is the Mobile Clinic Van.
Mobile Clinic Van
Mobile medical clinic vans are vehicles that bring healthcare to people who might not have easy access. They go to places where regular healthcare cannot reach. These vans are like moving clinics, making sure that everyone gets the care they need.
Why Mobile Clinic Vans?: Not everyone has the ability to visit a hospital to get healthcare. Some of the reasons that can prevent people from making it to a hospital are:
- Trouble moving around easily
- No way to get there
- Living in a remote place
- Not having enough money
- Difficulty speaking the same language
- Dealing with healthcare waiting lists
When someone can’t go to the doctor when they need to, it can cause problems. Let’s say someone has a health issue, but can’t get help due to one of the issues mentioned above. Over time, their health problem might become worse. It’s like not fixing a small leak that ends up turning into a big flood. If you catch health issues early, it’s easier to treat and will cost less.

Mobile Outreach Van
Mobile outreach has been proven to build trust among vulnerable populations.
Our Mobile Outreach Vans extend a helping hand to individuals without homes or those requiring additional support. For example, people living on the streets who are facing homelessness or addiction. Going to where these individuals are with Mobile Outreach Vans helps build trust.
Unlike regular clinics, these vans are flexible and can go wherever they’re needed. They’re like a bridge between people in need and those who want to help.
Why Mobile Outreach Vans?: Sometimes, communities that don’t get as much help can feel left out or judged when they need medical care. People dealing with things like not having a home or struggling with addiction might avoid going to regular clinics because they’re worried about what others might think.
But that’s where our Mobile Outreach Vans come into the picture. Your organization can use these vans to show up to vulnerable communities regularly, so people get to know your team and trust them. This makes it easier for folks to ask for help and get it when they need it.
Unlike clinics that stay in one place, these vans can go to different neighborhoods, making sure everyone gets the help they need. With these vans around, communities that might not always get the help they deserve can finally feel understood and connected. The other nice thing about Mobile Outreach Vans is that they offer a discreet alternative to traditional clinics.

Mobile Response Van
The Mobile Response Van is a full-size van that’s converted to a simplified treatment space where people can get simple medical help and a ride to the hospital if needed. This van might seem a bit like an ambulance, but it’s not exactly the same. The Mobile Response Van isn’t equipped to handle really serious, life-threatening cases. It doesn’t have all the fancy machines and tools that ambulances use to intervene in serious emergencies.
While the Mobile Response Van can be super helpful for things that aren’t too urgent, it’s important to know that it’s not the right choice for patients who need life support devices and critical care equipment.
Why Mobile Response Vans?: A Mobile Response Van is a flexible healthcare solution. It’s often used as an alternative to ambulances for patient transfers and non-urgent medical help. It’s not limited to just one role, though. It can adapt to various situations and organizations.
- Urgent care on wheels: Your Mobile Response Van can transform into an urgent care clinic. It can provide immediate medical services without overwhelming busy emergency rooms.
- On-site medical aid: Your organization can use the van as a mobile medical treatment center on remote job sites. It becomes a lifeline that offers initial treatment to injured workers before formal emergency response arrives.

Mobile Mitigation Van
A Mobile Mitigation Van is another type of van that we offer at AVAN Mobility. It’s designed to provide a safe place for supervised consumption services. Supervised consumption services provide a clean and safe space where trained professionals are there to help their patients. These services make sure patients are taking what they need in a way that won’t harm them.
Why Mobile Mitigation Vans?: Try to think of our Mobile Mitigation Vans as a safety net on wheels. These vans ensure that if something unexpected happens, like an accidental overdose, help is right there. But these vans do more than just react to emergencies. They work to prevent overdose deaths, making sure everyone stays safe. They also play a role in making public spaces cleaner and more pleasant, while also connecting individuals to important health services.
Some more benefits of Mobile Mitigation Vans include:
- Emergency support
- Reducing public drug use
- Stigma reduction
- Education

The prices of our mobile medical vans at AVAN Mobility range between $125,000 to $225,000. For more information on that, read our article on mobile medical van costs.
