Local information

• Local markers: Emerson Point Preserve, Sutton Park, the Green Bridge and the US-41 and US-301 split.
• Requests from Palmetto commonly involve type 2 diabetes, hypertension and respiratory symptoms linked to outdoor and agricultural work.
• Allow about one hour and 40 minutes by car; the Green Bridge and US-41 are slower during shift changes in the morning and late afternoon.
• We offer Spanish-language visits, early appointment times for shift workers, and phone screening so travel is only needed once eligibility looks likely.
