usf health primary care :: Article Creator The VA Adds A Veterans Health Clinic In An East Tampa Neighborhood A new satellite clinic run by the Department of Veteran Affairs in East Tampa is open for veterans to get primary care, mental health support and other services. It's part of a growing partnership between the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense. Officials from both agencies celebrated the Sabal Park clinic's grand opening during a ceremony on Monday.

Drugstore chain Rite Aid said Tuesday it plans to shutter at least 63 stores as it reassesses how many locations it needs.

The company said the closures were identified as part of an ongoing review and it anticipates it will find additional shops to shut in the next several months.

Rite Aid said its goal is to reduce costs, boost profitability and have a "healthy foundation." The company said the 63 closures, which began last month, are expected to boost its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization by roughly $25 million.

On Tuesday, Rite Aid posted mixed financial results for the fiscal third quarter. Although it earned more than expected on an adjusted basis, its sales for the three months ended Nov. 27 came in lower than analysts projected. The retailer also cut its outlook for sales for the fiscal year.

Rite Aid shares closed Tuesday up 21.4%. Shares are down about 4% year to date, putting Rite Aid's market capitalization at about $839 million.

A list of the dozens of stores Rite Aid plans to shut wasn't immediately available. Rite Aid operates more than 2,400 retail pharmacy locations in the U.S.

Last month, drugstore rival CVS Health said it will close roughly 900 stores over the next three years, as it adjusts to shoppers who are buying more online.

Both CVS and Walgreens have been focusing more effort on digital growth and turning stores into destinations that offer a range of health-care services, from flu shots to diagnostic tests.

surgical multi specialties medical group :: Article Creator The Decline And Fall Of Elite Multispecialty Medical Groups The failure of Geisinger Health System, which lost $842 million in 2022 and disappeared into a new Kaiser subsidiary called Risant, sent shockwaves through the health care community in the spring of 2023. Founded in 1919, Geisinger was in the vanguard of the so-called "value-based care" movement. It sponsored a regionally significant 600,000-member health plan and served as the home of an exceptionally high-quality 1,600-person multispecialty medical group. While Covid-related financial pressures, fateful management decisions, and troubled regional economic conditions all contributed to Geisinger's demise, federal health policy may have played a crucial role — and it could bring down other multispecialty groups in 2024 and beyond. Geisinger is only the latest member of an elite group of large regional multispecialty m
