Who this helps most in Immokalee
This helps Immokalee farmworkers and their families who cannot miss a shift for a clinic visit, parents of school-age children, people managing diabetes, blood pressure or asthma, and anyone who needs private mental health or ADHD care in a small town. It works alongside Healthcare Network, which has served Immokalee since 1977 and provides in-person, dental and sliding-fee care. Go in person to Healthcare Network for physical exams, injuries, wound care, pregnancy care or same-day X-rays.

Local health considerations
- About 25,000 farmworkers, mostly Latino and Haitian immigrants, live in Immokalee (The Counter, 2020); Healthcare Network was founded in 1977 specifically to serve migrant and seasonal farmworkers (FSU College of Medicine).
- Poverty rate 28.3%, 39.3% foreign-born, median age 29.7 (ACS 2024 5-year); Florida’s under-65 uninsured rate is 13.6% (KFF 2024), and uninsured rates are highest below the poverty line (22.2%).
- Outdoor agricultural work in heat: NWS lists people who work outdoors, young children and pregnant women among those most at risk for heat illness; farm shifts start before dawn and continue into the hottest hours.
- Transportation: telehealth can reduce travel for suitable routine visits. Use Collier Area Transit’s current schedules to plan non-emergency trips for services that need an in-person visit.
