1974 One of the many mobile blood laboratories built by Medical Coaches back in the early 70's. This coach served in the Rochester, NY area for many years.

1975: This mobile clinic was a NASA project with Lockheed as a prime contractor. Their goal was to replicate conditions on the first Space Shuttle should an astronaut have a medical issue. They designed this unit with the first full medical telemetry system allowing physicians in Phoenix Arizona to receive data from Native Americans screened by tribal physicians and health professionals through a roof mounted microwave transmitter.

The mobile unit included a full exam room with x-ray, diagnostic equipment, developing room and full working lab. Transmissions could include x-rays, microscope images, lab data, full-video and voice transmission.

According to NASA, the success of this program conducted on the Papago Indian Reservation in Arizona was critical in NASA's confidence that astronauts could be provided state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment while on their missions.

As a part of the design phase, Medical Coaches and Lockheed, engineers and medical personnel met over 50 times to discuss all phases of design and program implementation. A full working wooden prototype was built in the Lockheed facilities prior to release of Medical Coaches bill of documents. This was probably the first mobile unit ever to be designed using modern CAD technology only available to NASA in the 1970's.

Medical Coaches was very proud and honored to be selected as a vendor on this very important project after Lockheed interviewed over 50 separate vendors. Every employee of Medical Coaches was and still is proud of their contribution to the United States manned space program.
