Parrish Healthcare Center Port Canaveral
A One-Stop Solution for the Live, Work and Play Community [ By Matt Weinstein, Contributor ] The Parrish Healthcare Center at Port Canaveral provides a primary care/walk-in clinic, as well as occupational medicine services, workers’ compensation care, diagnostics, physical therapy, industrial rehabilitation and sleep disorder services. The healthcare center is located at 390 Challenger Road, opposite Cruise Terminal No. 1. The opening of the healthcare center in the summer of 2017 was the answer to repeated requests from area businesses and community members. The center provides Brevard residents and visitors convenient access to superior health services. The availability of health care services from this on-port location is important for the seafaring community, too. Cruise ship guests, crew members and shore-side support staff, who are in close proximity to cruise and cargo operations, now have easy access to health care that was not before available in the immediate area. The occupational health programs are led by board-certified physicians and offer comprehensive, tailored programs designed to help organizations foster a healing work environment that results in multiple benefits to employers, including: • Reducing health care costs • Minimizing workers' compensation expenses 28 : SPAC E C OAST B US I N E SS

Parrish has a 60-year history serving Brevard. Through the ebbs and flows of both the county’s evolution, as well as the national health care system’s evolution and transformation, Parrish has proven its resolve to its mission, vision and values.
