The Sarasota County Health Department’s
Health In Motion Mobile Medical Unit staff will provide free and
low-cost health services at 15 sites around the county during February. The services offered at the 15 regularly
established sites include diabetes education and screening, blood
pressure tests, pregnancy testing, HIV and tuberculosis testing, adult
immunizations and health education. The staff also assists individuals
who lack medical insurance and do not have a health care provider to
find a medical home for ongoing health care.
No appointment is needed. Some services are free, including HIV rapid
testing with results in 20 minutes. Other services are provided on a
sliding-fee scale based on income. A registered nurse is available at
all sites.
