mobile medical clinics for sale in California
California's care gaps run from Central Valley farmworker communities to unhoused populations in its largest cities. Mobile clinics let California FQHCs, nonprofits, county agencies, and health systems bring medical, dental, and behavioral health services directly to the people who need them.

Why California Organizations Choose TESCO
TESCO has delivered 71 specialty vehicles to California organizations since January 2022.
TESCO Specialty Vehicles has been family-owned since 1968. Every unit is purpose-built with steel-cage construction — never a retrofitted RV — and most builds deliver in about 90 days.
California organizations operating TESCO-built vehicles include Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics, whose mobile unit extends medical and behavioral healthcare to unhoused populations, underserved neighbourhoods, senior centers, health fairs, and agricultural sites — and Community Nurses Health Center.
California licensing, compliance & procurement
Every mobile clinic program should confirm requirements with the relevant California agencies before launch — here is where to start:
- California Dept. of Public Health (CDPH) — Oversees health facility licensing and community health programs - confirm requirements for your mobile clinic with CDPH before launch.
- Dental Board of California — Mobile dental programs should verify permit and supervision requirements with the Dental Board before launch.
- Medi-Cal (DHCS) — Providers planning to bill Medi-Cal for mobile clinic services must be enrolled through the Department of Health Care Services.
- California DMV — Specialty vehicles are titled and registered through the California DMV; TESCO's units are engineered to stay under CDL weight thresholds.
We were looking for specialty vehicles to meet our community commitments to children and their families for mobile learning and nutrition. TESCO SV completed all design, retrofit, and customizations and bundled all of that with a complete quality check ensuring that our vehicle would be safe and road ready.

FAQ
How much does a mobile medical clinic cost in California?
Pricing depends on vehicle size, floor plan, and equipment. Each unit is built to your specification, and leasing options are available. Schedule a free consultation for a quote.
Does California require a special license to operate a mobile clinic?
Licensing depends on the services you provide. CDPH oversees health facility licensing, and dental programs coordinate with the Dental Board of California. TESCO vehicles are built under CDL weight requirements, so a commercial driver's license is not required to drive them.
Can TESCO deliver anywhere in California?
Yes. California is our largest market, and we deliver from the Oregon border to San Diego. Most new builds are completed in about 90 days.
Can a mobile clinic serve unhoused and farmworker communities?
Yes. California operators use TESCO units at senior centers, health fairs, agricultural sites, and encampment outreach - Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics runs exactly this model.
