Premier Mobile Health Services to host casino night
A night of gaming, glamour and Great Gatsby vibes awaits at a flapper-forward, Roaring Twenties Casino Soirée coming to Fort Myers this fall and presented by Premier Mobile Health Services.
Proceeds from the Nov. 1 gala at The Collaboratory will benefit the nonprofit mobile health clinic. Premier Mobile Health Services brings essential medical care to those in need at multiple locations across Lee County, including a Fort Myers walk-in clinic.
“We provide life-saving medical care to the uninsured and under-insured for free or at deeply discounted rates,” said Dr. Nadine “Deanie” Singh, founder and CEO of Premier Mobile Health Services. “The costs to deliver quality care are high. As a nonprofit, we operate based on grants – but grants are not enough. We need community support to help keep our doors open and our wheels turning.”
“Premier Mobile Health Services connects our community’s most caring providers with the people who need them most,” Singh added. “Our clinics deliver education, outreach and comprehensive health services to underserved areas all over Lee County, regardless of insurance status, to the medically vulnerable and those most at risk of developing and experiencing long-term illnesses and hospitalization. As our county continues to grow, the need continues to rise.”
The Casino Soirée runs from 6-9 p.m. Tickets are $100 per person and include heavy hors d’oeuvres, two drink tickets and gaming vouchers. Sponsorships are also available at various levels, through June 30; for more information, visit the Speakeasy Casino 2024 website, call 239-288-7949 or email info@premiermobilehealth.org. Tickets will go on sale September 1.
About Premier Mobile Health Services
The mission of Premier Mobile Health Services is to provide quality health care services to the medically vulnerable and those most risk of developing and experiencing long-term illnesses and hospitalization. Founded in 2018, the nonprofit organization operates a mobile medical clinic serving the uninsured and low-income children, families and individuals at multiple locations across Lee County, including a walk-in, bricks-and-mortar clinic in Fort Myers.
Available services include early-detection health screenings, blood pressure and diabetes checks, drug screenings, basic metabolic profiles, nutrition counseling, basic vaccinations, health education, school and sports physicals for children, as well as acute and chronic disease management. Patients without insurance and those who provide proof of income below 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines account for two-thirds of its population and are provided care at no costs; others in need pay on a sliding scale based on income.
The organization has served more than 12,000 patients, providing frontline care during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. The mobile clinic includes an onsite pharmacy and point-in-care laboratory for immediate analysis of test results. To learn more or schedule an appointment, call 239-288-7949.
