Retail healthcare spurs innovation in South FL

In the growing world of retail healthcare, where you can get your flu shots down the aisle from your Fritos, insurers like Florida Blue are jumping into the business — with a South Florida spin. In September, the insurer will debut three "integrated care" facilities designed to cater to South and Central American populations by offering primary care, specialty services, labs and diagnostics under one roof — a model that is common in Latin America. The move reflects a consumer-focused style of administering care that has grown in popularity since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
