Staff Report

CVS Caremark's MinuteClinic is working with Florida Hospital Medical Group to expand access to healthcare services in central Florida.

Under the agreement, FHMG physicians will serve as medical directors for 12 MinuteClinic walk-in medical clinics inside select CVS/pharmacy stores in Lake, Orange, Osceola, Polk and Seminole counties, including the CVS pharmacy at 1800 E. Highway 50 in Clermont.

MinuteClinic and FHMG also will collaborate on patient education and disease management initiatives. FHMG and Florida Hospital will accept patients requiring a level of care outside the scope of MinuteClinic's walk-in services for common illnesses, wellness and prevention services, including health condition monitoring.

"MinuteClinic joins Florida Hospital Medical Group in its commitment to help patients remain healthy by making high-quality, cost-effective medical care more accessible in Central Florida," said Andrew Sussman, president of MinuteClinic.

FHMG and MinuteClinic also will work toward fully integrating electronic medical record systems to streamline communication around all aspects of patients' care.

FHMG doctors and staff provide treatment and care for patients at their practices throughout Central Florida and at Florida Hospital's seven campuses, including Florida Hospital Waterman in Tavares.
