WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Hy-Vee, Inc. announced the grand opening of its first Hy-Vee Health infusion clinic, located at 7300 Westown Parkway, Suite 320, in West Des Moines, Iowa.
The infusion clinic is referral-based and will provide treatments for rheumatology, gastroenterology, pulmonary, neurology, dermatology, oncology and other chronic conditions. The freestanding clinic is staffed by licensed physicians and nurse practitioners and features three private infusion rooms and five group infusion suites, offering a comfortable setting for patients receiving specialty treatments. The clinic is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 7 a.m. to noon.
“We are proud to open our first Hy-Vee Health infusion clinic as we expand our focus toward providing trusted, high-quality care to infusion patients,” said Aaron Wiese, president of Hy-Vee, Inc. “As an independent clinic,
Hy-Vee Health is an affordable, convenient and accessible option for patients who face chronic and complex conditions. Our vision for Hy-Vee Health is to provide convenient, cost-effective health solutions for patients across the United States.”
The Hy-Vee Health infusion clinic is a further extension of Hy-Vee’s commitment to specialty care. Since 2014, Hy-Vee has operated Amber Specialty Pharmacy, an award-winning specialty pharmacy provider licensed in 50 states with 19 locations across the United States. Amber Specialty Pharmacy specializes in providing personalized care for patients with complex conditions.
For more than 50 years, Hy-Vee has operated retail pharmacies with more than 275 locations currently across eight Midwestern states. The retailer has invested heavily in other health and wellness areas by employing a team of registered dietitians and creating a free educational program for children called Hy-Vee KidsFit that promotes physical activity and healthy lifestyle habits. Most recently, the retailer introduced telehealth and online pharmacy provider RedBox Rx, pharmacy benefit manager Vivid Clear Rx, and e-commerce health and wellness site WholeLotta Good. Hy-Vee is one of only a handful of retailers in the nation to operate its own fleet of mobile health units in an effort to provide greater health care accessibility throughout the communities it serves.
Several additional Hy-Vee Health infusion clinics are planned to open later this year across the U.S. For patients and providers who want to learn more, visit hy-veehealthinfusion.com.
