This article describes the development and implementation of the Governor's Wellmobile program. Designed to increase access to community-based health care for uninsured, underserved populations and to provide innovative clinical practice, research, and education opportunities for students and faculty, this fleet of four full-service, primary care clinics "on wheels" is managed and operated by the University of Maryland School of Nursing, demonstrating that nurse-managed practice models are valuable to the state's health care delivery system. Issues of long-term financial sustainability are presented, as well as lessons learned about the importance of public, private, and philanthropic partnerships and political support in ensuring the success of such programs.
