ST. PETERSBURG – The St. Petersburg Free Clinic has opened a second Health Center to better serve the needs of the St. Petersburg community.

The Free Clinic’s South St. Petersburg Health Center provides free health and wellness services for uninsured adults in South St. Petersburg.

The South St. Petersburg Health Center is in the Davis Bradley Community Involvement Center, 1735 Martin Luther King Jr. St. S. This location provides better access for patients in the South St. Petersburg area to address and manage a wide range of medical conditions and to improve their overall health and quality of life.

“We found that some patients didn’t have transportation to reach our main Health Center location, so we’re bringing our services to patients in our community,” said Beth Houghton, the St. Petersburg Free Clinic’s CEO. “Convenient access to services is key to increasing health.”

The Free Clinic’s South St. Petersburg Health Center is open from 8:30 a.m. to noon Thursdays.
