NEW YORK — To help key healthcare stakeholders and industry professionals keep up with the latest thinking on how retail health is revolutionizing healthcare delivery in America, Drug Store News and the Convenient Care Association will host the Retail Healthcare Webinar Series, a virtual educational forum focused on the future of retail health, which kicks off next month.
The series begins Tuesday, November 3, with Integrated Healthcare presented by Web Golinkin, CEO Rite Aid RediClinic and Health Dialog. Located next to the host pharmacy, a collaborative relationship between pharmacists and clinicians has blossomed, since the first retail clinics burst onto the scene in 2000. Today, with almost 2,000 in operation, the retail clinic has become as integrated into the total store health experience as pharmacies have been for many years. With many retailers redesigning stores to bring an enhanced health focus for the consumer/patient, this session will feature leadership from various retail and clinic organizations and will focus on the integration of healthcare throughout the store.

“Retail health clinics in traditional retail chain drug stores have become a critical boardroom conversation and a key platform to transform traditional brick and mortar retailers into integrated healthcare providers,” said Wayne Bennett, group publisher of Drug Store News.
“This educational platform is unique because the webinars are specifically designed for healthcare leadership and professionals and showcase the value proposition of the retail health industry,” said Tine Hansen-Turton, executive director of the Convenient Care Association.
