PHILADELPHIA — Under a white tent about four blocks north of Temple Hospital, a nurse checked Robert White’s blood pressure, as cars and delivery trucks rumbled past.
“You’re doing well,” said Barbara Hitchens, a nurse practitioner, suggesting she’ll see him again in another a week.
Instead of a doctor’s office, the 62-year-old White relies on an outdoor mobile clinic at Germantown Avenue and Broad Street. Three months ago he started visiting the clinic run by Temple University Medical School’s Center for Urban Bioethics to get a COVID-19 booster.
