CVS Health opens first Navarro-based MinuteClinic

WOONSOCKET, R.I. – CVS Health on Tuesday opened the first Navarro-based MinuteClinic, joining 22 other South Florida clinic locations inside select CVS/pharmacy stores.

 

“This new location broadens both MinuteClinic and Navarro’s ability to serve patients in South Florida including the Hispanic community in Miami Lakes and beyond,” stated Andrew Sussman, MinuteClinic president and EVP/associate chief medical officer of CVS Health.  “Our experienced nurse practitioners help adults and children feel better every day and make it easier and more affordable to obtain basic health care services in convenient locations close to home, school and work.”

 

MinuteClinic at Navarro is staffed by bilingual nurse practitioners who specialize in family health care and can diagnose, treat and write prescriptions for acute illnesses such as strep throat and ear, eye, sinus, bladder and bronchial infections. Minor wounds, abrasions, skin conditions and joint sprains are treated, and common vaccinations such as influenza, tetanus, pneumonia and Hepatitis A & B are available.

 

In addition, MinuteClinic administers a series of wellness services designed to help patients identify lifestyle changes needed to improve their current and future health, including screenings and monitoring for diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and smoking cessation and weight loss management services.
