The Bayside Health Clinic
Bayside Health Clinic is expanded and renovated to provide better service to the community. Since its 2016 opening, the clinic has provided quality medical and dental care to over 7,000 patients experiencing homelessness and more than 31,000 medical encounters through the County’s Health Care for the Homeless Program.
The clinic provides a full array of primary care, medical services, preventive care, chronic disease management and preventive and restorative dental care. The expansion adds four behavioral health offices for on-site mental health and substance use services, four new exam rooms, and an additional dental operatory with three dental chairs.
Primary Health Care is provided at no cost to individuals experiencing homelessness with income at or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level. A sliding fee scale for services is applied for income between 101% and 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.
Appointments can be scheduled, and walk-ins are welcome. For more information, please contact (727) 453-7866.

We continue to provide other ways to get healthcare:
1. Use Telehealth
You don’t even need your own phone or computer. Appointments can be made for follow-up of acute and chronic conditions such as hypertension, minor musculoskeletal aches/pains, minor injuries, minor skin rash, follow-up after a hospital visit, lab orders, medication refills, and review of lab and diagnostic test results. We have six locations where you can go to have your telehealth visit.
Call (727) 453-7866 to schedule and ask for a telehealth appointment.
2. Visit our Mobile Medical Unit
The new and renovated Mobile Medical Unit can be access at different locations throughout the county. The MMU brings medical services to individuals experiencing homelessness. The MMU includes exam rooms, an interview room and medical equipment to provide patients with state-of-the-art care. The vehicle visits shelters, soup kitchens, drop-in centers, and other locations to serve homeless residents. Appointments can be scheduled, and walk-ins are welcome.
