The mobile clinic is one of several health programs offered by libraries around across the U.S. — from tiny rural town libraries to large urban systems. They offer fitness classes, food pantries, cooking classes, conversations about loneliness and mental health, and even blood pressure monitors that can be checked out just like books.

The Milwaukee Public Library (MPL) has partnered with the Wisconsin Institute for Healthy Aging (WIHA) to offer free health and wellness classes at various library branches across the city. This initiative, part of a broader movement among public libraries nationwide, aims to enhance community health by providing accessible education on topics like nutrition, exercise, and mental well-being. The classes are designed to cater to all age groups, promoting preventive health measures and fostering a healthier community. This collaboration not only utilizes the library's role as a community hub but also underscores the importance of public institutions in addressing public health issues.
