mobile medical clinics for sale in Kentucky
Eastern Kentucky's mountain counties and the state's rural west share the same problem: the nearest provider can be a long, difficult drive. Mobile clinics let Kentucky health systems, universities, FQHCs, and county health departments bring care directly into those communities.

Why Kentucky Organizations Choose TESCO
TESCO has delivered 14 specialty vehicles to Kentucky 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.
Kentucky organizations operating TESCO-built vehicles include the University of Kentucky, whose Ford Transit mobile clinic is built on a Victron power system — a setup suited to long days parked at outreach sites without shore power.
Kentucky licensing, compliance & procurement
Every mobile clinic program should confirm requirements with the relevant Kentucky agencies before launch — here is where to start:
- Kentucky Cabinet for Health & Family Services (CHFS) — Oversees health facility licensing and public health programs - confirm requirements for your mobile clinic with CHFS before launch.
- Kentucky Board of Dentistry — Mobile dental programs should verify permit and supervision requirements with the Board of Dentistry before launch.
- Kentucky Medicaid (DMS) — Providers planning to bill Medicaid for mobile clinic services must be enrolled through the Department for Medicaid Services.
- Kentucky Transportation Cabinet — Specialty vehicles are titled and registered through the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet; 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 Kentucky?
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 Kentucky require a special license to operate a mobile clinic?
Licensing depends on the services you provide. The Cabinet for Health and Family Services oversees health facility licensing, and dental programs coordinate with the Kentucky Board of Dentistry. 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 Kentucky?
Yes - from the eastern mountains to the western counties. TESCO builds in Oregon, Ohio and delivers statewide, with most new builds completed in about 90 days.
Can a mobile clinic run all day without shore power in Kentucky?
Yes. Units can be specified with battery/inverter systems for extended off-grid operation - the University of Kentucky's Ford Transit clinic uses a Victron power system for exactly this.
