Closing the Gap

The state-funded program, Closing the Gap (CTG) grant, section 381.7356, Florida Statutes, supports communities, faith-based, and other organizations to eliminate health disparities. CTG grants fund communities to work with partners to achieve optimal health in Florida.

DOH-Citrus works with the community to improve the health of all groups within our community by discussing strategies to improve the health of Citrus County, focusing on education access and quality, health care access and quality, economic stability, social and community context, and neighborhood and built environment.

Services offered include immunizations, lipid, blood glucose, and blood pressure screenings, hemoglobin checks, nutrition education, safe sleep, breastfeeding, car seat safety, and many more at no-cost.
