Clinical Services

FL Dept. of Health in St. Lucie County

The St. Lucie County Health Department provides quality and individualized health care services to the community at an affordable rate. These services are provided by highly qualified and experienced family practice doctors, pediatricians, nurse practitioners, nurses, nutritionists, and case managers. We offer discounted rates for un-insured and under-insured patients who meet the eligibility requirements. Services will not be denied due to inability to pay.

A wide range of health care services are available to the community including:

Caring for the Health of Mothers and Children
Women who get prenatal care have healthier babies. Their babies become healthier children through well-baby checkups, immunizations and school health programs. Help and hope are provided to families who have children with special health care needs.

Tracking Diseases and Stopping Them in Their Tracks
Keeping Floridians safer by tracking patterns of disease, investigating and containing outbreaks and developing solutions are unique responsibilities of the Department of Health. Working with health care providers, we meet the challenge of reducing acute and chronic illness and disease.
