Revolutionizing Healthcare Access: Dr. Lola Omishore's Mobile Physical Therapy Clinic, TheraMotive
The struggle for health equity and the fight against disparity in the healthcare system has been a well-known challenge in the U.S. The obstacles that underserved communities face to access quality healthcare, particularly in urban areas, are not new.
But what if I told you a new generation of innovators is stepping up to the plate, and their passion and ingenuity are turning heads and making real change?
Meet Dr. Lola Omishore PT, DPT, OCS, ATC, a first-generation Nigerian-American Doctor of Physical Therapy and a force to be reckoned with in sports medicine. But her work goes beyond serving luxury clients in her private practice in Brooklyn minutes away from Medgar Evers College, CUNY. She noticed the unmet needs of seniors and lower-income health-impaired individuals who were often immobilized and neglected by traditional healthcare delivery models.
Her vision? TheraMotive - a state-of-the-art mobile Physical Therapy clinic. Think the latest health tech, cutting-edge AI equipment, and slick wearable devices, all accessible within reach of all communities. It's healthcare designed to adapt, grow, and literally move with you.
Her efforts represent the growing success of black women business venture innovators. Black women-owned businesses are the fastest-growing sector in the U.S., and Dr. Omishore’s ambition shines a light on what is possible.
Dr. Omishore’s passion doesn't stop at innovation. She has participated in several incubators and accelerators and is on the brink of a significant step forward. Her plans include franchising her model, widening the impact, and decreasing health disparity not only in Brooklyn but across the nation.
Can you visualize it? A state-of-the-art clinic on wheels, driven to care, driven to deliver; see the vehicle already manufactured in photos below.
TheraMotive is not just a business. It's a mission to make Physical Therapy a crucial piece of Primary Healthcare. It's a dedication to community health inequity and a statement of how healthcare can be made accessible, effective, and compassionate.
This innovative approach to healthcare reimagines what is possible. It challenges the status quo and speaks to what we can achieve when creativity, technology, and determination align with the needs of those who often feel left behind.
Dr. Omishore is now seeking additional funding, with hopes to literally "be on the road" soon. Her story is a shining example of how individuals can take the lead in addressing health disparity challenges, and inspire us all to think of other ways we can contribute.
