Clemson entry ready for technology competition

Clemson University says its Sullivan Center mobile health clinic is ready to roll into competition Monday at the Global City Teams Challenge in Washington, D-C.  Paula Watt, director of the Sullivan Center, says the event’s organizers see the center’s outreach work and the mobile clinic’s groundbreaking features as perfect fits for the expo.  When parked, the clinic draws 100% of its power from a special solar battery system which eliminates the noise and fumes from a traditional generator and decreases operation and maintenance costs.  The Sullivan Center primarily uses the mobile health clinic in Upstate South Carolina, but also ventures across the state to reach under-served populations and provide valuable educational experiences to Clemson students.  The clinic was made possible by state support led by Thomas Alexander, Oconee-Pickens state senator.
