The Publix Pharmacy will put BayCare screening stations in all Publix stores, and teleconferencing stations in selected Florida Publix locations, according to an article on The Ledger website.
Publix also will operate pharmacies on-site at five BayCare hospitals.
The locations and opening dates of the telehealth sites are to be determined. The collaboration will serve Polk, Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties.
The telehealth sites will each have a private room with teleconferencing and medical diagnostic equipment — including stethoscopes, blood pressure cuffs, high-definition cameras and other tools necessary for common diagnoses.
