Join us for the 9th annual Gambling Disorder Screening Day

In collaboration with the Division on Addiction's Cambridge Health Alliance, at Harvard Medical School, HealthStreet will be providing free screenings.

Gambling Disorder leads to financial, emotional, social, occupational, and physical harms, yet many cases go undetected and untreated. Failure to detect gambling harm is due, in part, to limited screening. Gambling Disorder Screening Day is an international grassroots event designed to increase awareness of gambling harm, and support and encourage screening for Gambling Disorder in a variety of settings.

Community Health Workers Needed!

If you are interested in working with HealthStreet for a couple of our initiatives, please call us or send us your resume. We are hiring community members now!

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.

Research Study Opportunities

Below are a few studies that you can participate in now:

+ The Family Fit study is seeking feedback on an app in development to increase physical activity for families. Eligible participants must have a child 9-12 years of age and live within 25 miles of UF campus
