About this area

Bradenton

Bradenton sits along the Manatee River with a working-class urban core, established retiree neighborhoods and a growing Hispanic population. Distance means most Bradenton participants join studies with fewer required visits.

Getting to our office

From downtown Bradenton, take Manatee Avenue or SR-64 east to I-75 south and stay on I-75 past Punta Gorda. Exit to Burnt Store Road (CR-765) south into Cape Coral, then Pine Island Road east and Chiquita Boulevard S south.

Local information

• Recognizable places: the Bradenton Riverwalk, Manatee Memorial Hospital, the Green Bridge and the SR-64 I-75 interchange.
• Manatee County reports elevated rates of hypertension, obesity-related diabetes and adult asthma in central Bradenton, with bilingual care in steady demand.
• Plan on roughly one hour and 35 minutes; departing before 8 a.m. or after 9:30 a.m. avoids the worst I-75 congestion.
• Bradenton visits can be conducted in Spanish, and we prioritize protocols with monthly rather than weekly visits for participants traveling this far.
