WICHITA, Kan. – Local Clinic In A Can and AmeriCares, based in Stamford, Connecticut, are jointly responding to Hurricane Michael with relocatable containerized clinics.
We are preparing our first shipment of four Clinic In A Can units for deployment in the Panama City, Florida area. The clinics will be set up for primary care and will be solar powered. We are partnering with Americares, and they will be staffing the clinics with medical personnel.
“The greatest need currently for those affected by Hurricane Michael in Panama City, Florida is providing primary healthcare to families affected by Hurricane Michael and volunteers assisting with cleanup,” said Clinic In A Can CEO Michael Wawrzewski. “Most of the local clinics have been impacted by this natural disaster either due to the loss of electricity or damaged buildings.”
A Clinic In A Can employee uses a forklift to load a Primary Care Clinic onto a truck to be sent to Panama City, Florida, to aid with the emergency response following Hurricane Michael.

“Through our joint partnership, Clinic In A Can will provide the medical space through our containerized clinics and AmeriCares will provide the licensed medical staff,” Wawrzewski said. “The solar powered Clinic In A Can is a practical and innovative solution not only for the immediate healthcare needs but also the long-term healthcare needs that communities face until the recovery phase is complete.”
