UF Occupational Therapy Equal Access Clinic
If you have an accident, injury, disease or condition, such as stroke, chronic pain or illness or anxiety, that may make it difficult to participate in your meaningful activities, our clinic can help. We’ll help you focus on the things you need and want to do — your goals, your activities, your independence. Anyone with a limited ability to engage in activities that bring them fulfillment, such as hygiene, cooking, driving, dressing or social skills, can benefit from occupational therapy.
Dates and times: Schedule an appointment Thursday evenings from 5-7 p.m.
Location: Smart House at Oak Hammock, 2701 SW 53rd Lane, Gainesville, FL
UF Physical Therapy Equal Access Clinic
If you can’t do what you enjoy or are having difficulty with work and activities due to pain, weakness, swelling, stiffness or other problems related to orthopedic or neurological conditions, our clinic can help. UF physical therapy students, supervised by faculty and clinicians, offer free physical therapy evaluation and treatment for individuals who have limited insurance or no insurance. We offer limited telehealth appointments and Spanish translation.
