Publix Opens Pharmacy Inside Halifax Medical Center

Imagine being able to get your prescriptions before you ever leave your doctor’s office – skipping the trip to a pharmacy. Thanks to a joint venture between Publix and Halifax Medical Center, that is now a reality.

On Monday of this week, Publix Pharmacy opened its 14th in-hospital location. This one is inside the Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach, FL.

This change adds a lot of convenience for patients. Rather than having to make a separate stop on the way home from their doctor, the in-hospital pharmacy will provide their prescription to them before they leave.

“We are pleased to collaborate with Publix Pharmacy to provide our patients access to their medications in the most efficient and timely manner,” said Halifax Health President and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Feasel.

Publix currently operates 1,252 grocery stores across 7 states in the southeastern US. In addition to their supermarket business, Publix also has in-store pharmacies. This announcement is a further expansion of that service.

This expansion is yet another example of a business refining their model. In addition to providing a better experience for the customer, its a smart way to garner additional revenue and build trust in their pharmacy business and brand.

Halifax Health operates a number of hospitals and medical centers along Florida’s east coast. They provide health services throughout Volusia and Flagler counties.

According to a press release, Publix plans to continue partnering with hospitals in all of its territories.
