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:
+The Statin study is examining how lived experiences influences adherence to statin medication. Eligible participants must be 18+ years of age, female, Black/African American, and currently prescribed a statin medication for heart disease treatment or prevention.
+ The OxyOxy study is examining the effects of oxytocin and oxycodone on decision-making and behavior. Eligible participants must be 21-45 years of age and use opioids recreationally.
+ The Medical Marijuana Use and Driving Performance study is examining how medical marijuana use or non-use may impact every day functioning during real world tasks, such as driving, in older adults with chronic pain. Eligible participants must be 50-72 years of age, have chronic pain, and have not used marijuana in the past 30 days.
+ The AIM2ACT study is testing the effectiveness of a smartphone intervention to help control asthma among early adolescents. Eligible participants must be caregivers of at least one child 12-15 years of age who has been diagnosed with persistent asthma.
