What is Healthlink JAX?
Healthlink JAX is a free, virtual healthcare service provided by the City of Jacksonville that’s designed to help Duval County residents who don’t have health insurance. We know that not having insurance, time, transportation or connection to a primary care physician can make it hard to get the healthcare you need. That's why we're here to help you and your family access quality care, day or night, with on-demand virtual visits from board-certified doctors.
Our team of doctors and care navigators are here for you anytime to answer questions, treat illnesses, refill prescriptions, or get preventative check-ups.
What is a care navigator?
A care navigator is a nurse or social worker that helps patients find the right care and support. They answer questions about prescriptions, connect patients to local clinics, and link them to community resources like housing, transportation, food and other benefits. Care navigators work to make sure no one falls through the cracks when trying to access care.

EMTs to help introduce Healthlink JAX to the community
Healthlink JAX is launching an EMT outreach program at locations throughout the city to provide health screenings directly to the community. These on-site health screenings can help identify health concerns early, before they become serious.
Regular preventative care - checking vital signs, weight, and blood sugar – can help people identify potential issues. From there, EMTs will connect patients to a doctor virtually for immediate care. Stay tuned for dates and locations starting this December!
