There are more than 4 million professional long distance truck drivers in the United States and they are one of the most medically underserved professions. Yet the service they provide, which benefits the entire population, is obviously
invaluable.
As a result of this disparity, a small group of interested parties completed an in-depth study of professional drivers to assess their health and work habits. The need for health care was overwhelming.
Following careful planning, Professional Drivers Medical Depots (PDMD) evolved to begin to meet the needs of these drivers. The first medical clinic, commonly known as a medical depot and designed exclusively for professional truck drivers, was officially opened at the Petro Stopping Center in Knoxville, TN in January 2007.
These unique roadside medical depots are designed to provide (1) easily accessible, convenient, quick, affordable, high quality health care, (2) routine preventive health measures (i.e., flu shots) and (3) health education. Professional drivers generally find it difficult to make a regular appointment with their home town physician because of their hectic schedules.
The concept of medical facilities in truck stops has been attempted in the past. Unfortunately, these clinics for truckers were not successful, in large part due to there inability to network and share the needed data concerning each patient. Networking is now quite feasible.
The PDMD medical depots will be networked and will provide DOT physicals, routine personal health care, injury related care, prescription refills, as well as pneumonia vaccines and flu shots to name a few of the medical services available. Each one of these medical facilities will have close ties with a local hospital in order to care for more serious illnesses and injuries.
The PDMD team was successful in opening four facilities in four different states in 2007. The states included Tennessee, Arkansas, Georgia and Illinois. In the near future there are new facilities planned to open in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California.
Since more than 10% of professional drivers are female, a Women's Clinic was established at the West Memphis, Arkansas medical depot. More will be established in the future. A total of eighty general practice medical depots are planned for development by the end of 2011.
In the spring of 2008, PDMD introduced a new health insurance program for professional drivers and their families. There are four different member plans: (1) single member, (2) member and spouse, (3) member and children and (4) family coverage. This insurance coverage can be used at any medical facility and can include medical/surgical coverage, a dental plan, prescription benefits as well as other options.
PDMD offers other services, such as the PDMD Mobile Lab for laboratory screening and health education. They have also created the PD Health Network as another means of providing health education to professional drivers. There is a special prescription program for members where all medications can be purchased for a reasonable fee.
Currently PDMD is looking for coverage at the clinics in Atlanta, Laredo,TX and El Paso,TX. The plan is to have 80 sites established throughout the United States in the next 3 to 4 years. All of these sites have the potential for PA student involvement once the staff have settled in and are comfortable with the day to day operation.
If you know of any of your graduates who would be interested in providing coverage now or in the future, please have them contact me at 203-887-2890 or by e-mail at j.jeffrey.heinrich@gmail.com. If they wish to contact the PDMD medical director, John McElligott MD, his office number is 865-548-7684 and his e-mail is jmcelligott@pd-md.com
