On March 26, 2024, Gus Bilirakis held his annual Heroes Among Us Celebration in which he recognized and celebrated the contributions of CARES Senior Health Clinic, Volunteer Health professionals among other volunteers who support local non-profit and government entities in Florida’s 12th Congressional District.

CARES Senior Health Clinic provides limited primary care, disease education, medication management, and health promotion to people who are 55 years and older, low-income, and uninsured. Most of our clients are the working class with nowhere to turn for medical help. The CARES Free Senior Health Clinic is staffed by volunteer medical professionals, and funded through the generosity of private and corporate donors.
