The Sarasota County Health Department’s Health In
Motion Mobile Medical Unit will travel to 15 sites in Sarasota
County during July.
Regular services include diabetes education and screening, blood
pressure tests, pregnancy testing, HIV and tuberculosis testing,
adult immunizations and health education. The staff also assists
in finding a medical home for ongoing health care services for
anyone who lacks medical insurance and does not have a health
care provider.
In addition to the regular services, immunizations for children
will be available on Wednesday, July 14, from 9:30 a.m.-noon at
the Grande Court Apartments at North Port, 5203 Greenwood Ave.,

clients who attend programs at the Salvation Army on Thursday,

No appointment is needed. Some services are free, including HIV
rapid testing with results in 20 minutes. Other services offered
are on a sliding fee scale based on income. Licensed volunteer
