About this area

Immokalee

Immokalee is an inland agricultural hub with a large Hispanic and Haitian workforce and long-standing gaps in specialist access. Our bilingual staff and early-morning visit slots are built around farm and packing-house shifts.

Getting to our office

From Main Street (SR-29), head north to SR-82 and follow it west through Lehigh Acres into Fort Myers. Continue on Colonial Boulevard west, cross the Midpoint Memorial Bridge to Veterans Parkway, then turn north on Chiquita Boulevard S.

Local information

• Common meeting points: the Seminole Casino Immokalee, the Immokalee Pioneer Museum and the SR-29 and Main Street junction.
• Community health priorities here include type 2 diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension and work-related respiratory irritation, often diagnosed late because of limited specialist coverage.
• Plan on about one hour by car; carpooling along SR-82 is common and Collier Area Transit serves routes within town before the drive.
• All Immokalee visits can be conducted in Spanish or with interpretation, and we hold 7 a.m. screening slots so participants can return before the afternoon shift.
