CHECK COAST

Mobile Health & HIV Prevention

Check Coast is One Check Away's mobile health division — operational since July 2025 under a Memorandum of Agreement with the Sarasota County Department of Health. We deliver free, confidential STI/HIV testing, primary health screenings, telehealth consultations, and care navigation directly into the communities that need it most. No appointment. No waiting room. No barriers.

Mobile Health: We Come to You

Bringing Care Where It’s Needed Most

Our mobile health unit expands beyond STI/HIV testing to include:


Primary Care Screenings – Metabolic health assessments includes blood pressure, glucose levels, and preventive health education.
✅  Advanced Diagnostic Tests: Rapid results for HIV/STI, risk reduction solutions, and prevention medications like PrEP/PEP.

✅  Strong Referral Network – Direct connections to primary care, dental, mental health, and substance abuse treatment providers.

We meet people where they are—literally. No barriers, no judgment, just care.

Connecting Health to Stability

Stable Housing = Better Health Outcomes

People facing housing instability are 10x more likely to contract preventable illnesses to include HIV. Our program helps by:


🔹 Navigating Housing Resources – Assistance with emergency rental assistance, shelter applications, Section 8, VASH (Veterans Affairs housing), and transitional housing programs.
🔹 Community Partnerships – Collaborating with local housing authorities, shelters, and veteran organizations to streamline access.
🔹 Future Goals – Exploring direct property acquisition (e.g., HUD $1 Homes) for long-term housing stability.

Health starts with a home. We’re bridging the gap.
