This clinic provides primary health care, health education, and referral services. They are located at the St. Lucie County Logistics Center (3855 South U.S. 1, Suite B), and is staffed by volunteer physicians, nurses, and other health care professionals.

The clinic opened on October 25, 2010. HANDS offers resources to those least likely to receive regular health care -- uninsured adults age 19 to 64. Rather than simply treating acute symptoms, they seek to empower patients to participate in their health management. Their goal is to educate clients on how to make good health care choices, find health resources, and recognize health problems before they become critical.
