From staff reports

Publix Pharmacy and Beaufort Memorial Hospital recently unveiled the supermarket's second Beaufort in-store Walk-In Care center within the Beaufort Plaza Publix Pharmacy at 33 Robert Smalls Parkway.

In order to familiarize local residents with the new clinic, Beaufort Memorial and Publix Pharmacy will host an open house in the Beaufort Plaza store from noon to 3 p.m. on Friday, June 2. Staff will be on hand to offer free demonstrations of the technology.

At the telehealth site, patients can speak directly with a board-certified provider via video conferencing technology. The provider can direct the patient to use the available medical tools to make a diagnosis and write prescriptions that can be picked up at the pharmacy. Visits are $67 and do not require an appointment.

Powered by the hospital's BMH Care Anywhere online virtual care service, each telehealth center features a private room with teleconferencing and medical diagnostic equipment, including stethoscopes, blood pressure cuffs, high-definition cameras and other tools necessary for common diagnoses.

"We continue to look for ways to expand access to care in the Lowcountry," said Beaufort Memorial President and CEO Russell Baxley. "Our mission is to improve the health of our community and offering walk-in care through Publix Pharmacy provides a unique way to do just that. It's another option for patients who need care when and where it is most convenient for them."
