MinuteClinic offers workplace health services through new partnership

WOONSOCKET, R.I. — CVS Health’s MinuteClinic on Tuesday announced that it had joined the Alere eScreen Occupational Health Network in a move that will allow employers to direct employees to MinuteClinic to complete occupational health screenings.

"MinuteClinic is pleased to partner with Alere eScreen to provide workplace health services to employers and their employees at times and locations that are convenient for them," MinuteClinic SVP and executive director Sharon Vitti said. "Our practitioners are trusted and knowledgeable resources for health care services in their communities and they are looking forward to being able to provide this important service to local employees as well."

Employees who are required to complete screenings pre-employment or as part of their employment can visit MinuteClinic for such services as biometric screenings, vaccinations, Dept. of Transportation physicals and drug testing. Patients can search the Alere eScreen site to find a testing location, among them their local MinuteClinic. They then print an e-passport to be presented to the provider identifying the tests their employer requested.

“Alere is excited to be an enabling partner for MinuteClinic in their desire to dramatically improve the accessibility of workplace testing services,” Alere global president of technology Sanjay Malkani said. “With the Alere eScreen system already in place, and access to a broad services menu including biometric screening, DOT physicals, vaccinations, and drug testing, MinuteClinic is poised to become a valuable workplace health destination for employers nationwide.”
