Resource	Contact	Service
Key Largo VA Clinic	(305) 451-0164	Open weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4.30 p.m., the Key Largo VA Clinic provides medical support to the city's U.S. military veterans, their spouses and dependents. The clinic's staff can help seniors with speech, balance and hearing issues, while its family doctors can help those who need primary care and its cardiologists are available for those with heart and circulation problems. There's also support for patients struggling with their mental health. Those who need care not provided at the clinic are referred to other facilities within the VA Miami Health Care network.
Seniors in Service	(813) 932-5228	Seniors in Service is a Tampa-based nonprofit that specializes in matching adults aged 55 and older who want to help their communities with organizations that require volunteers to serve those most in need in Pinellas County.
