At a recent Gateway Women’s Club meeting, attendees met Dr. Nadine Singh. When she arrived in America from Jamaica, she came with a young child, no high school diploma and a desire to help people who were struggling to help themselves. Fate intervened. Through hard work and never losing site of her goal, Singh earned a GED and ultimately a Nursing degree. Fast forward to today, she earned her associates degree from Broward College and started as a certified nursing assistant in Fort Lauderdale, then obtained a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Edison State College (Florida Southwestern State College), and a master’s in nursing and a doctorate in nursing practice (DNP) from South University. She worked as a critical care nurse at Gulf Coast ICU for about eight years. She ultimately founded Premier Mobile Health Services.
In college, she wrote a paper for a grade about mobile health clinics. Once in the workforce, she realized she could make a difference and best serve people by going out into the community. Acting on her goals, with her own money, in 2018 she purchased a 40-foot mobile clinic and took health care on the road. Premier Mobile Health Services has flourished and provided over 14,000 care visits. Dr. Singh works with a staff of 12 and many qualified volunteers with 3 full-service mobile units. Their services include, but aren’t limited to, early-detection health screenings, blood pressure and diabetes checks, basic metabolic profiles, nutrition counseling, basic vaccinations, acute and chronic disease management, and school and sports physicals for children. Premier Mobile Health serves uninsured and underinsured children, families and individuals at multiple locations across Lee County. Additionally, a walk-in brick-and-mortar clinic is open at 10676 Colonial Blvd #20, Fort Myers. For complete information on all they do and learn their Mobile Clinic visit their site at premiermobilehealth.org or call (239) 288-7949.

Before leaving the meeting, Debby Stephano reported overall success experienced by the many volunteers who took home fledgling (propagule) Mangrove trees from the last monthly meeting to be returned to Skye MacDonald at the Sanibel Captiva Coastal Watch Foundation. Yes, these trees make a difference to everyone in Florida.
