Health In Motion visits 13 community sites during August

The Sarasota County Health Department’s 40 foot mobile medical unit, Health In Motion’s will visit 13 locations throughout north Sarasota, Laurel, Venice, Englewood and North Port during August. The Health In Motion staff provide basic health services to residents with Medicaid, without health insurance or who do not have transportation.

No appointment is needed.
The services offered include blood pressure, and diabetes screening, HIV testing, pregnancy testing, tuberculosis skin testing, adult immunizations, health education, and eligibility screening as part of assisting people in locating a permanent health care provider.
The Health In Motion staff will also be present at the Back to School Resource Fair at Heron Creek Middle School, 6501 W. Price Blvd. in North Port from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, August 9.

Senior Friendship Center volunteer physicians assist the health department in providing basic medical care on a rotating basis when the mobile unit visits the Salvation Army each Thursday. A registered nurse is available at all other Health In Motion locations. Some services will be free; other services will be offered on a sliding fee scale based on income. Community AIDS Network (CAN) also provides specialized services.

Those who would like a schedule of dates, routes and services can call the Sarasota County Call Center at 941-861-5000. To submit a request for Health In Motion to be part of a major community event or to download a copy of the monthly calendar, visit the Sarasota County Health and Human Services Web site, www.sarasotahealth.org.

Health In Motion is supported in part by a two-year grant from the Gulf Coast Community Foundation of Venice which funds the staffing and medical equipment needs.
