NJ Doctor Turns Van into Mobile Testing Unit for Low-Income

Dr. Alexander Salerno is a physician who for decades has provided care for the underserved in New Jersey. He was so frustrated by the difficulties he saw in getting testing for this underserved population that he literally took matters into his own hands - and into his own wallet - and created a pop-up clinic that would travel to different locations to test over 100 hundred people a day.
