AdventHealth adds pharmacy kiosks
AdventHealth has added SpotRx pharmacy kiosks, to make it convenient and more accessible for patients to fill prescriptions before leaving the doctor’s office.

The kiosks will provide acute and chronic medications, over-the-counter products, as well as creams, ointments, eye drops and test strips. The stations will not house controlled substances such as diazepam or oxycodone.

Patients insert a prescription receipt, and the kiosk dispenses the medication.

The SpotRx pharmacy kiosk currently is available at AdventHealth Care Pavilion Westchase in Hillsborough County, and another one will be installed later this year at AdventHealth Care Pavilion Heathbrook in Marion County.

With the SpotRx embedded pharmacy model, home delivery also is available.

AdventHealth Care Pavilion patients will receive:

  • Convenience of immediate access to prescriptions
  • Free contactlesss next-day home delivery for all prescriptions and over-the-counter medications
  • Instant access to SpotRx pharmacists via kiosk or phone
  • Coordinated care between clinic provider and the pharmacy ensuring quality of patient care
  • Follow-up care calls from a local SpotRx pharmacist after receiving the prescription

State-of-the-art clinic
Tampa General Hospital has opened a new TGH Urgent Care at 13531 State Road 54 in Odessa, according to a news release.

This state-of-the-art clinic, featuring five exam rooms, will provide urgent care for patients ages 3 months and older.

Common illnesses and injuries treated at the new Trinity at Starkey Ranch TGH Urgent Care powered by Fast Track include: cough; sore throat; ear infections; eye problems; colds and fevers; skin rashes; simple factures; nausea and other stomach issues; and urinary tract infections.

“Additionally, we offer school and sports physicals, laboratory testing including for COVID-19 and the flu, and a number of diagnostic procedures from X-rays to EKGs,” said Dr. Daron Diecidue, chief executive officer, in the release.

“Testing, diagnosis and treatment can all be done in one location,” said Dr. Diecidue.

Occupational health services also are available and include pre-employment screenings, employment physicals and assessments for workers’ compensation injuries.

The Urgent Care will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. Walk-in appointments are available; however, a FastPass reservation is recommended.
