The state department of health in Sarasota County is planning to provide health-in-motion services next month. You don’t need an appointment. The services include no-cost health screenings, and referrals for general health and wellness. There’s also an RN on site who can help people without health insurance find places to get ongoing medical care.
The dates and times to find health-in-motion services include: Thursday April 6th and 27th, both with the salvation army in Venice at 1400 10th Street, from 930 a.m. until 3 p.m. It’ll also be set up on Monday, April 10th, at the Elsie Quirk LIbary at 100 West Dearborn Street in Englewood, from 1 until 6 p.m. You can find health in motion services on Wednesday, April 12th, from 9 until 11 a.m. at the Nokomis Park Community Center in Nokomis. Other dates are scheduled for later in the month.
Health in motion services include body mass index measurement, diabetes-glucose screening, HIV and STD testing at some sites, and blood pressure screening. If you have questions, call 941-400-1412.
