On December 2nd and 3rd, 2017, Pensacola Area Remote Clinic will be at Pensacola High School to provide the following services: vision, dental, and general medical care, as well as education and access to free or reduced-price follow-up care. Additionally, Walgreens will provide 2,000 flu shots, the Florida Health Department in Escambia County will provide HIV and syphilis testing, and Pensacola State College will offer haircuts and barber services. |
