Community Health Workers
Community Health Workers Needed!
If interested in working with HealthStreet for a couple of our initiatives, please call us or send us your resume. We are hiring folks like you from the community!
NARCAN® SAVES LIVES
NARCAN® Nasal Spray may counteract the life-threatening effects of an opioid overdose. Since most accidental overdoses occur in a home setting, it was developed for family, friends, and caregivers – with no medical training required.
HealthStreet has partnered with Florida Department of Children and Families to distribute NARCAN® in our community. Call 352-294-4880 today to get your own NARCAN® Nasal Spray.
Every month, HealthStreet hosts a variety of services, Community Health Worker outreach efforts, classes, support groups, and events! Check out our May calendar.
Interested in participating in research?
Here are a few studies that you can participate in now:
