A look at the program . . .

Pinellas County homeless can receive basic health care in two locations (Mobile Medical Unit and Bayside Health Clinic) at no charge. This program is funded in part by Pinellas County and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration and Federally Qualified Community Health Center (FQCHC) specializing in care of the homeless.

Mobile Medical Unit:

The mobile unit is a medical office on wheels. The mobile medical unit operates Monday through Friday and visits shelters, soup kitchens, drop-in centers and other places where the homeless might gather. Take a look at the calendars to learn where and when the unit is scheduled.
