Teen-WOW: T-WOW is a free mobile health program for teens outside two four local high schools. This collaborative effort between the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District and Christie Clinic, P.C. outreach brings preventive health services to high school students who have no access limited access to a school nurse or school health center.

The unit offers students aged 12 and up free health screenings, disease prevention supplies and educational materials. Students visit the van for pregnancy tests; sexually-transmitted disease tests; and information about disease prevention, diet and exercise. Students who need more intensive medical attention receive referrals to other services.

During the school year the van is parked weekly outside Centennial High School, Rantoul High School, and Urbana High School, and every other week outside of Central High School.
