HAVE YOUR VOICE HEARD IN RESEARCH
HealthStreet’s mission is to reduce disparities in healthcare and health research through community and other stakeholder engagement.
While our facility remains closed due to COVID-19, we are offering weekly drive-up services for clothing, toiletries, food packages, and naloxone, a powerful medication that reverses the effects of an opioid overdose. Please visit our COVID-19 Resource Page for more information. Need help with social and medical needs? Call (352) 294-4880 and our team will help you connect with local resources and research studies you are interested in.
