Health Checks

Health Check is a program designed to promote the health of Senior Citizens in Orlando’s downtown high-rise communities, trailer parks and adult communities. For two hours, once a month, Orlando Firefighters spend time at a specified residence, taking blood pressures, testing blood sugar levels, and showing our seniors that Orlando Firefighters have an interest in their well-being. This program began with nine high-rise communities and 180 patients a month and has grown to twelve communities with approximately 600 patients a month. This began as a partnership with Florida Hospital; however, the program is solely supported by the Orlando Fire Department at this time.

If you are interested in obtaining more information about having a Health Check setup for your community, please contact the Division of Public Relations.
