The Motion Picture & Television Fund knows the unique demands of a career in the entertainment industry. Many necessities are sacrificed due to long hours or the inability to get away, including seeking medical care. Health Wheels is a new program that brings healthcare delivery directly to patients where they work.
Health Wheels is a 33-foot fully functional and professional mobile health center with two comfortably-sized, well-equipped private examination rooms and is staffed with a doctor, a licensed vocational nurse and a driver/patient registrar.
Health Wheels provides free screenings and health services. Through this program MPTF will provide easy and affordable access to routine and preventative health care for those who are otherwise deferring preventative services, or attention to chronic problems, due to time or transportation constraints. Health Wheels offers affordable comprehensive primary care for patients 13 years of age and above. Services include: physical exams, “welcome to Medicare” visits, Well-Woman exams, EKG’s, flu shots and other immunizations, blood pressure checks, cholesterol and glucose screenings, vision and hearing checks.

MPTF is currently reaching out to the Los Angeles entertainment and senior communities to identify "host locations" with which we can explore the opportunity of regular weekly or monthly visits to provide quality health care services to the employees and/or residents at that location.
As a health care provider geared exclusively for people in the entertainment industry, the Motion Picture & Television Fund understands the unique challenges of maintaining insurance benefit. The Bridge to Health program was created to assist industry members who are temporarily uninsured by providing basic healthcare services for one low fee of $25 per visit.
With a goal to provide care to as many patients as possible, the MPTF Bridge to Health program will include the following services for eligible uninsured patients:
Industry workers who have no health insurance coverage or who have in-patient hospital coverage only are eligible for Bridge to Health appointments. Individuals must have proof of working in the entertainment industry within the last three years. Eligibility status will be reviewed at the time an appointment is scheduled.
Bridge to Health appointments can be made by calling any MPTF Health Center. For information about MPTF health services, or the many other services provided by MPTF, visit the Healthcare Page.
MPTF Bridge to Health is made possible by individuals like you. Help your fellow industry member in need by making a donation to MPTF.
