No health insurance? Visit Health In Motion for health services
Basic health services are available for adults who do not have health insurance at 14 locations in Sarasota County during June. The services available through Health In Motion include diabetes education and screening, blood pressure, pregnancy testing, HIV and tuberculosis testing, adult immunizations and health education. People can also get help in finding a permanent health care provider. No appointments are needed. Some services are free, including HIV-Rapid testing. The HIV-Rapid testing results are available in 20 minutes. Other services are offered on a sliding fee scale based on income.

Licensed volunteer physicians from Senior Friendship Center provide basic medical care when the mobile medical unit is at the Salvation Army in Sarasota. A registered nurse is available at all sites.

The Sarasota County Health Department’s “Health In Motion” bus is a mobile medical clinic that makes it easier for residents to access health/medical services,” said the program’s coordinator Tim Thompson, MSN, RN. The Health In Motion staff members also provide services inside the facilities they visit to better access clients. In these cases, the mobile medical bus may not be visible at each location – however, there will be signage outside the building.

Health In Motion is partially funded by a two-year grant from the Gulf Coast Community Foundation of Venice. The Gulf Coast Diabetes Foundation also provided funding for enhanced diabetes education.

A schedule of dates, routes and services is available. Call the Sarasota County Call Center at 941-861-5000. Visit www.sarasotahealth.org to view the calendar or to submit a special event request.
